Neah

Groaning as I roll over, I reach for Dane. My eyes flash open as a surge of panic fires up through me when I realise he isn't here. Sitting up quickly makes my head spin. Grabbing the clock from the bedside table, I knock something on the floor.

Retrieving it, I see that it's a note from Dane.

I knew where he had gone before I had finished reading it. He wouldn't have waited for the meeting with Silas. He probably didn't even come to bed.

The clock tells me it's almost five in the afternoon. I had slept most of the day away. And judging by the way my muscles ached, I had stayed in the same position.

I scowl at the bed. I don't even remember coming to bed. I remember getting in the bath, but even that is a little hazy.

'He probably moved us.' Nyx yawns. You know he likes to do that.'

Scanning the note again, it tells me to order room service and that he would be back soon. My eyes flash to the pizza box still on the table. I couldn't even remember if I had eaten. Exhaustion does funny things to the brain.

Shuffling out of bed. I make my way into the bathroom to freshen up and dress. I've barely finished pulling on the sweatshirt when I hear the door to our room open. It's accompanied with Danes strong scent. A part of me feels relieved that I didn't have to wait long for answers.
