Her Forever (Book 3)- Chapter 66
Willa’s POV

It reminded me of the early days when Europeans tried to take over the Americas and the racism that Earth still deals with.

Having a whole room dedicated to bed linens is funny, but it made sense on the grand scale of things. Turning away from the rooms, I headed to the large stained glass window. The tops of the windows
