Chapter Forty Four

Richard’s POV.

I paced back and forth in front of Amber’s room, anxiously awaiting any sign of movement or sound to

indicate that she was finally awake.

It was already 11 am, and she had been asleep for over ten hours, which baffled me considering she had gone to bed at a reasonable hour the night before. Impatience gnawed at me as my curiosity

burned, prompting me to hover near her door.

reaching out to steady her, my concern for her overriding my minor discomfort at that moment.
