Chapter 91 Waiting

Alistair was taken aback.

Given that Caroline was still on the mend from her illness, he

naturally assumed she was running a fever again and didn't take it as a romantic overture.

In the pitch-blackness, Alistair quickly reached out to touch Caroline's forehead, then his own to make a comparison. Their temperatures seemed pretty much the

same.

Caroline was struck dumb.

Looks like I've really made a mess of things.

Just as Alistair was about to get up and grab the thermometer, she reached out and grabbed his arm, her voice weak as she pleaded, "I'm just cold, that's all. I don't feel anything else is wrong. Please don't go. Stay with me, okay?"

The blatant dependence in her voice stirred up Alistair's protective instincts right away. He lay back down, pulling Caroline into his embrace. Gently patting her back, he cooed in a soothing tone like he was trying to lull a child to sleep, "I'm right here. Go to sleep."

Caroline had always been a terrible sleeper.

She'd tried every trick in the book to get a good night's rest, but nothing seemed to work.

However, it seemed she'd finally found the perfect solution-

Alistair.

Once in his arms, Caroline felt like a little fawn that had found a safe haven. A wave of security washed over her. She closed her eyes, and before she knew it, sleep had claimed her.

Half-asleep, she felt like there was something she'd forgotten. After a moment of thought, Caroline finally remembered. "Night, honey," she mumbled.

Alistair smiled tenderly, "Night... honey."

He wasn't quite as used to calling her "honey" as she was to calling him "honey."

He figured he'd have to practice saying it more often to get the hang of it.

Time slipped by, and at last, the sky began to lighten.

As dawn gradually brightened the world, the outside came back
