My mouth opens and shuts

“You were in the room the whole time?”

“Yep” He smiles “FYI, you talk in your sleep”

“I do not”

“Okay, sure, princess”

Maybe I do, and by the way he’s grinning, it can’t be a good thing

There is no way I’et hih

“It’s really not that bad, Payton”

“Which part?” I lift a brow “The part where you spy on me when I sleep? Or the part where I can’t actually do anything to get you outta here?”

“The latter” He kicks one foot on top of the other, getting way too relaxed for his own good “Think of it this way For the night, you have a personal butler If you want a drink, I’ll get it for you You need help getting up? I’ll help you” He says it like he just offered ift in the world

“How about you go down the block and get sorumble

In theon the side ofat me with concern on his face

“Good , princess”

Normally, the moniker bothers me

But today, when he says it without veno voice, I want to melt

Wow

What changed since the accident?

Maybe that concussion did so

“Morning Did you get much sleep in the chair?” I ask him

“It was fine once I got used to the snoring”

My mouth drops a little “You woke yourself up with your own snoring?”

I can’t help but look at those lips

Lips I want to kiss again

He shifts and stands fully off the bed, one arht His other hand works to rearrange the pillows until I’ain

“There That should help Sorry” He pats at the pillow “I didn’t mean to make you reach and hurt more”
