43 Blue and lavender, part 2 (2/2)

Nate sighed before turning away from her.

”Fine, believe what you want, but we both heard her chances of survival last night.” He said over his shoulder, before walking away to sit on the bed again.

”I'm going to get dressed.” Snow said, walking off into the bathroom again, closing the door behind her.

If she knew Nate would be in her room, she wouldn't have went out with just a towel around her body in the first place.
