Seraphina swept up her hair and took a quick shower.
Stepping out of the bathroom, towel-dried, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
Her skin was delicate, marking easily
Right then and there, she could clearly see the love bites on her neck and the scratches on her thighs.
She thought back to what just happened. Was Leandro venting or intentionally leaving these marks on her?
Seraphina didn't dwell on it too long, because she had something else on her mind.
After a moment of silence, she reached out her hand. Following the traces left by Leandro, she pressed harder, creating more obvious marks on her neck.
After she was done, she put on the dress she had picked out earlier, only to find that its design couldn't hide the marks on her neck.
Seraphina walked out of the bathroom and opened her wardrobe to look for another outfit.
Most of her clothes from the past were too childish, and with her body's development, not many of them fit anymore.
As she was digging deep into her wardrobe, Seraphina suddenly froze.
She saw a red dress.
The one she had wanted to wear on her eighteenth birthday, especially for Leandro.
She had worn it, and he had seen it, but everything had gone off track that day.
Seraphina stood still, until there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Seraphina asked quietly.
"Ms. Bennett, it's me." Lacy's voice sounded from outside, "Conway fell asleep again. You can rest now."
