Chapter 0048
Without thought, I placed my hand in Nicholas’s waiting one, and let him tug me away from Julian’s arms

He was good at leading, even more so than Julian, Watching him, trusting his quidance, I didn’t need to count my steps anymore. I simply followed him as we danced around the ballroom.
