“So you won’t even spare a comforter for me?” Brian asked, his tone cool as he looked at her.

Natalie didn’t say a word, her silence making it clear she didn’t want him staying the night at Prestige Penthouses. Her injuries hadn’t fully healed, but she didn’t want to show weakness in front of Brian.
