Fitch's wound was slowly healing, but come midnight, he found himself itching to scratch at the scab.

Nolan was sound asleep between them, and Zoey, without even opening her eyes, said in a cool tone, "Move again, and you'll wake Nolan."

Fitch felt a pang of jealousy but didn't dare ask for anything, merely grunting in response, subdued.
