Chapter 59: His yearning
Chapter 59
The night was too quiet, too silent. After he had carefully walked Katherine to her room door, lingering a little, watching her close the door behind her.
Aaron blinked, his feet shuffling at the door before he walked to his room with a deep breath. He couldn’t wait for the day both of them would finally be together.
Back in his room, his room was silent. Aaron lay sprawled on his bed, one arm behind his head while the other was on his stomach. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling like it held the solution to the knot in his chest.
Katherine’s room was just a few feet away from his, and he could feel his body buzz at the thought. His beautiful Katherine.
He blinked, the reflection of the full moon coming through the window, lighting the room. But everything just reminded him of her.
Katherine.
How she had shyly turned away from him earlier in the kitchen and how— Aaron jumped out of bed, tugged the lamp beside his bed, and pulled the book on the table to continue reading the novel.
He put on his glasses and resumed to the page he’d stopped at, but none of it was registering in his head. He was seeing the words figuratively, but none of it was comprehending. All he could see on the page was Katherine’s name, but Katherine wasn’t in the book he’d been reading.
God in mercy! He removed his glasses, his eyes squinted as he rubbed his face tiredly.
Katherine was just a few steps away from his room.
