As soon as the words ‘sharing the same bed’ fell from Callum’s lips, Elspeth immediately felt her face burning red. She was at a loss for how to answer and could only give Callum a fierce glare. “Fine, then leave.”

Callum didn’t seem to notice her glare as he turned his head away. “I’m not leaving.”

“I’ll prepare the guest room for you.”

He shook his head. “I’ve already built a relationship with your bed, and it says it doesn’t want to part with me.”

The corners of her mouth twitched at his daring. “In that case, why don’t you call out to it and see if it agrees with you?”

Then, she saw him sitting on the bed, holding the side and asking, “Do you want me to leave?”

The bed shook violently three times, making loud creaking noises.

Just as she was about to interject, he added, “Do you want me to sleep with Elspeth?”

He rocked his body, and the bed creaked once.

Callum shrugged and spread his hands. “Look, I told you; you need to sleep with me. Otherwise, your bed will be very upset.”

Elspeth couldn’t help but feel amused at his antics. “Callum, how childish can you be?”

“Also, a ghost will hide under your bed tonight if you insist on sleeping alone. While you’re sleeping, it will climb out from under your bed and watch you sleep…”

She smacked her palm against his head. “I’m not scared of ghosts.”

He took the slap without protest and looked at her aggrievedly. “But I’m scared. I don’t dare to sleep alone.”

In that case, who were you trying to scare with that ghost story?

Elspeth rested her forehead against her palm as she tried to find a way out of this. Eventually, when she saw how persistent he was being, she pointed at the ground and announced, “You can sleep in my room tonight. But you will sleep on the floor, and I will sleep on the bed.”

Callum opened his mouth to probably say something cheeky. Alas, before he could say anything, he promptly swallowed his words after seeing the evil eye she was giving him. “Also, I will kick you out if I find you climbing into my bed.”

The bed smelled like her, so he was truly very reluctant to leave.
