those were my exact thoughts as well, but until then there's no point in bringing that up until we get more proof whether it be more information or unless our mate decides to share her past with us" murmurs Eros, the need for sleep reaching him. "Sleep, we can finish this discussion later" I tell him, my own body needing sleep as well and since dinner wouldn't be till later, a nap was a perfect way to pass the time. Nodding, Eros moves to follow our mate into dreamland as do I. Sleep easily takes over and allows us to
