Ethan sat in her room for a long time, only leaving after he heard the sound of her steady breathing.
Back in his own bedroom, he stepped into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and let the cold water drench him, clothes and all.
'I need to calm down and think about what to do with this simple girl in the future. Especially after I get married. I can't possibly keep her in my own home. My wife would never agree to that.'
'Wait, I have that house in The West Garden. I bought it years ago but never moved in. Maybe I could have her live there?'
'That's the only way.'
Ethan had settled one matter, but there was something else he couldn't get off his mind.

'Damn it!'
'Just thinking about it made him lose control, made him want to continue what they'd started.'
