Chapter 0258

    Chosen By The Moon


    “I’m good, just lost track of the time.” I answered before realizing my clothes were outside, with


    Lewis! “Could you pass me the clothes you found, please?” I asked before opening the door up a


    crack to see Lewis already holding them in his hands. His gaze averted me as he passed the


    bundle of fabric to me and once again patiently waited for me to exit the bathroom. “Thank you,


    Lewis.” I smiled at him as I stepped out and awkwardly rocked on my feet slightly in the tshirt and


    jogging bottoms that were clearly far too big for me. My wet hair cascaded down my back and my


    bare feet curled slightly out of awkwardness. “I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”


    He didn’t say a word about how long it had actually been, in fact he didn’t say anything at all, he just


    stared at me, his eyes darting over every inch of my face, shing with so many thoughts I couldn’t


    for the life of me understand any of them.


    “You look breathtaking.” Came his response after a minute of me fidgeting with my bare feet.


    Nothing but sincerity could be found on his features as he dropped the book he had obviously been


    reading.


    He too was dressedfortably, he was sat upfily in bed, an open book that most likely had


    his head buried in it, now sat in hisp, open but not even an after thought as he gazed at me.


    “Was that you secretlyplimenting your choice of clothes?” I asked after the shock of his


    confession. had passed over me. He chuckled but kept his eyes trained on me, it was making my


    stomach flutter and so I quickly changed the subject. “What book are you reading?”


    “Ah…” It was almost as if he had forgotten he was even reading until I mentioned it. He lifted it very


    briefly before plopping it once again back down on his legs. “Great expectations, by Charles


    Dickens. It’s very old, but it’s my one of my favorites.” He had obviously read it much more than


    once.


    “I’ve never heard of it…” I admitted to which he instantly feigned hurt. “I don’t really like reading,


    after the new world I didn’t really have the time to do any, I can’t even remember what my favorite


    book was.” He ced a small piece of paper into the page he was on and closing the book over


    quickly, before cing it onto the table next to the bed.


    “My favorite, is A Tale Of Two Cities.” He smiled before getting out of bed and walking over to the


    small shelf of books, pulling out an old battered one and handing it to me.


    “Charles Dickens again? You must like the author.” My fingers gently stroked over the hard cover


    and


    felt the indents of the books title.


    “Hmm…” He agreed with a hum. I enjoy his use ofnguage.” He stretched his arms over his head


    while I absentmindedly opened the book and quickly read the first line. “I could read it to you, if you


    wanted?”


    I snapped my head up to him and smiled at the redness in his cheeks, before handing him the book,


    pulling the covers back on the opposite side to where he was lying, and jumped in.


    1/2


    “I’d like that!” I enjoyed hearing his voice. He smiled quickly and slid under the quilt himself before


    hesitantly holding his arm out for me to shuffle into him.


    I did so immediately, and ced my head on his shoulder while his arm wrapped around me to hold


    the book open.


    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… He read.


    This… this is what I always imagined happiness would feel like.
