"Get srest, okay? I'm going to take a shower." Nathan gave her a gentle smile, his words lingering in the air
as he slipped into the bathroom.
A moment later, the sound of water running behind the door made Nathalie's cheeks flush hot. Alone together at
night, just the two of them-it felt scandalous, somehow. She couldn't take it. With her heart racing, she hurried
out,
She wandered into the garden, letting the crisp night air wash over her. The cold breeze cooled the blush from
her cheeks, bringing her back to her usual pale, almost porcelain complexion. Only then did she steady herself
and stand.
Above her, a thin crescent moon hung in the sky, bathing the garden in silvery light. Shadows stretched across
the grass and flower beds, making the whole place feel mysterious and dreamlike.
Nathalie strolled aimlessly among the roses and hydrangeas, her thoughts drifting as she kept glancing back at
Nathan's window. The lights were still on-what could he possibly be doing at this hour? Why wasn't he turning in
for the night?
Fatigue crept up on her, heavy and sudden. She found an old wooden bench under an oak tree and sat down, her
eyelids growing heavy. Before she knew it, she'd drifted off to sleep.
She dreamed a strange, vivid dream. Nathan appeared before her, dressed in white silk pajamas, looking almost
ethereal, like he'd stepped out of a painting or cdown from the clouds.
"Nathalie," he called softly, his voice so gentle it almost wrapped around her heart.

"Go where?" Nathalie blinked at him, startled.
"Don't be sad. I'll csee you again soon."
She frowned, confused and a little frightened. Something felt off. She waved her hand in front of his face. "You...
you can see me?"
Nathan nodded.
Nathalie shot to her feet, stunned. "That doesn't make sense. I'm just a soul right now. You're alive-how can you
see me?"
She reached out, trying to touch his face. To her shock, her hand was see-through —and Nathan's face began to
fade as well.
But Nathan just kept talking, almost as if he couldn't hear her panic. "Nathalie, from now on, | hope you get
everything you wish for. Promiseyou'll keep searching for happiness."
A cold wave of dread washed over her. Something was terribly wrong.
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out from upstairs. "Oh no! The young master is gone-!"
Nathalie's whole body trembled. She stared at the house, then back at the fading Nathan before her. Was this
really his spirit?
"I don't believe it," she whispered, her voice breaking. She refused to accept it. Nathan was just fine moments
ago—
She bolted inside, racing up the stairs to Nathan's room.
There he was, lying on the bed, hands folded over his chest. He looked so peaceful, almost like he wasjust
sleeping-if only his skin wasn't so ghostly pale.
