it was late and house was mostly quiet, natalia making sure the kitchen was clean and straightened before she went to bed. she tugged her robe around herself as she got a glass of water, not expecting anyone else to be around until she head a noise. “dylan, jesus, you startled me,” she gasped, hand to her chest. setting down the glass of water she had nearly spilled, she eyed her daughters friend, knowing that there had been some tension between them lately, especially when they were alone. natalia tried to keep telling herself it was some silly fascination from dylan and she should simply ignore it. “i thought you’d two would be asleep by now. do you need anything? you know you’re always welcome to help yourself in this house.” as soon as she said the words her mouth dropped open, realizing how the offer could have been taken. @exiledlvsts
