Chapter 3
“Are you hungry?”
His dark eyes studied her and he tilted his head. “What?”
When he still didn’t reply, she wrung her hands together. “I’ll get you something to eat.”
Grace moved to the tiny stove and threw some noodles and eggs into the pot to make a simple bowl of noodles for him. She didn’t have any meat, but she chopped what vegetables she had and added them too.
She set the tiny table and poured them both a glass of water from the sink. He moved cautiously to take a seat when she set the bowls down.
“Eat, but don’t eat too fast. It’s quite hot,” she said.
She didn’t mean to treat him like a child, but his presence made her nervous even as there was something incredibly calming about him.
He lowered his head and ate his noodles quietly. Grace also stared at him in silence.
Normally, she’d come home and hate the feeling of being alone, confined in a tiny space. For some reason, the loneliness that she’d usually feel seemed to have disappeared. Could it be due to the presence of another person in the room?
After he had finished eating, Grace cleaned up the plates. “I usually sleep with the lights on. I hope you don’t mind,” she said. Ever since she was released from prison, she had gotten into the habit.
“That’s fine.”
Grace took her pajamas into the bathroom and shut the door to brush her teeth and change. Was it weird having a man alone beside where she’d sleep? Yeah. Probably.
But she didn’t feel triggered by his presence of fearful.
If he’d wanted to hurt her, he wouldn’t have defended her on the street.
When she exited and lay down on the bed, he took his position on the floor.
The room was silent save for the sound of the heater. If she listened hard enough, she could hear each breath he took.
It was a steady rhythm, peaceful even.
Grace closed her eyes and focused on sleeping. This was her routine every night because it was almost impossible for her to relax. Even being out of jail, at night she would always dream of her time in prison.
She would be beaten, shamed, and abused… and every finger would burn with the pain of being broken and the nails being torn off…
She’d wake up screaming, fingers curled, terrified, and heart pounding.
However, oddly, that didn’t happen tonight.
She slept until sunrise and was not visited by her usual nightmares.
As she awakened, she rolled over to look at the figure lying on the ground beside her bed.
