Nifra fluffed up the last of her pillows, getting ready to get into bed and rest her aching muscles. Suddenly a knock sounded on the door. She turned to it, her brows drawn.

Who on earth would be knocking on her door this late?

At first, she believed it was Sabrina. But the voice that spoke with be next knock wasn’t Sabrina.

“Nifra, are you awake?” Acheron said, knocking harder. “Nifra,”

Nifra sighed softly. “I’m coming. Don’t tear my door down.”

She walked up to the door and grabbed it open. Acheron stood on the other side, a slight upturn to the corners of his lips as his eyes met hers.

“Aren’t you going to let me in?” He asked.

She met his dark eyes squarely. “It’s late. And I’m tired. What do you want?”

“I want to talk,” he took a step forward and she closed the door an inch. A silent warning. He sighed and stepped back. “Let me in,”

“I don’t believe you.” She snapped, her fingers tightening around the doorknob.

Laced under that, was the true meaning of her words. She didn’t trust herself around him. She didn’t trust how she would behave if she let him in.

She knew that deep down, however much they might deny it and fight it, the pull was still there. They pretended like it didn’t exist. She spent most of her life fighting it.

She hated it.

Even right now. Just the sight of him outside her door had her heart quickening. The desire to let him in was overwhelming.

“Nifra,” He said. “Do you want someone to walk in on us this way?”

“What?”

“Not that I mind, but it’d be more comfortable if we talked inside. ”

Nifra chastised her thoughts. Then she sighed and opened the door wider. “Fine, come in. You have ten minutes though.”

He walked in and she shut the door. She leaned against it, just in case.
