The seemingly sleeping girl pouted her lips, made a soft sound, and clutched Asher’s shirt sleeve, refusing

“Are you awake?” Asher leaned down slightly, his hands braced on either side of Thalia, his eyes lowered

as he looked at her.

“Dri…” Thalia’s eyes remained closed as her lips moved, softly uttering a syllable. “Dri…”

“Drake?” Asher’s eyes narrowed sharply, his deep gaze darkening dangerously, a cold glint appearing in their depths.

drink…”

Asher: “…”

Drink?

So it wasn’t “Drake” but “Drink“?

Asher couldn’t help but laugh, the tension in him instantly releasing.

He moved closer again, his tone indulgent. “Lia, let me get you cleaned up first, then I’ll bring you some water, shall we?”
