Byron narrowed his dark eyes and gave her a slow, deliberate once-over, a hint of amusement tugging at his lips. "I know what I mean." him, she was Maeve cou
couldn't shake the feeling that he was looking down on her. With a pout, she finished helping him get dressed and was about to leave the room. But Byron stopped her. "You're staying in this room tonight."
"No way!" Her face was still flushed from the earlier interaction, and she avoided meeting his gaze. Her voice was low as she muttered, "I have my own room, thank you very much." Byron's tone left no room for negotiation. "It'll be easier for you to take care of me if you're here."
It might be convenient for him, but it was anything but convenient for her.
All Maeve wanted was some space to clear her mind and figure out how to deal with her family issues.
"Mr. Mcdaniel, I'm a restless sleeper. I might end up disturbing your rest."
"You'll be on the temporary bed. Toss and turn all you want."
At this point, if she kept refusing, it would seem like all her previous promises were just empty words.
"Alright."
Reluctantly, Maeve went back to her room to grab her phone and then settled onto the temporary bed the nurse had prepared.
With the main lights off, the room was bathed in the soft, warm glow of a wall lamp.
As she lay there thinking about Valda, Maeve stared at the ceiling, certain she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She let out a soft sigh, barely realizing she'd done it.
"Maeve." Byron's deep voice cut through the darkness.
Maeve instantly held her breath and turned her head. "Did I wake you?"
She'd momentarily forgotten she wasn't in her own room and had let that sigh slip out without thinking.
She was already mulling over how she'd explain herself if he asked why she sighed when his voice came again, calm and steady. "Come help me to the bathroom."
