Chapter 641

Melina didn't send any more messages. She wasn't sure if Andrew had fallen asleep yet, but she knew she wasn't ready for bed herself. Instead, she sat down to work on her plans. Ever since she'd returned to Oakread, she'd been by Andrew's side almost constantly. But she hadn't forgotten her own responsibilities—her studies and the campus magazine's editorial plans still needed attention. Without realizing it, she worked late into the night. When she glanced at the clock, it was already 12:00 am. Quietly, she opened her door and stepped out barefoot, her steps silent as she tiptoed toward Andrew's room to check on him. To her relief, she saw that Andrew was fast asleep. Whether it was the exercise from earlier or simply a rare sense of calm, his sleep seemed deep and restful. Satisfied, Melina slipped back into her room. She tidied up the notes she'd written and finally allowed herself to drift off to sleep. That night, she dreamed of riding bicycles with Andrew.
