Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 365

Day two.

Agnes's top priority was to hit up Mamie's room.

Agnes had woken up several times during the night. She was constantly feeling like her heart was in her throat. She couldn't comprehend why, but something about yesterday's events felt off. She couldn't shake the worry that something was going down.

The entire Celestial Skyline Hotel only had two presidential suites. One was Agnes's crib, the other was Mamie's.

But these two rooms weren't exactly next door neighbors. There was a long-ass hallway you had to navigate first.

When Agnes finally made it to Mamie's room, she saw that the door was ajar.

She saw Ivan stepping out from inside. This wasn't weird per se. Ivan was Mamie's brother. He was the one who took Mamie away yesterday.

But what was weird was that Ivan was still sporting yesterday's clothes. And when he saw Agnes, his normally calm-as-a-pond eyes seemed to flicker with panic.

Ivan was always dressed to the nines and meticulous as hell. But today, he looked like he had just rolled out of bed. Although he didn't look disheveled, he gave off a more down-to-earth vibe.

But Agnes still felt like something wasn't kosher.

When Ivan saw Agnes standing at the door, he seemed to freeze.

Without missing a beat, Agnes asked, "Did you crash here last night?"
