I froze for a moment, then smiled as I walked over. "What's this? You're awake? I thought you'd be asleep."

Eric looked at me, his voice low and deliberate. "Maybe it's because you weren't here, so I couldn't sleep well."

His eyes were full of sincerity, making my heart skip a beat.

I patted my chest reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm taking a break today. I didn't work."
