Early the next morning, Thalia was awakened by a telephone call.

She groggily pressed answer, her voice heavy with sleepiness. “Hello? Who is it?”

“Thalia, you need to come to the hospital to see Drake.” James‘ urgent, worried voice came through the line. “Drake nearly died, do you know that?”

The mere mention of Drake’s name filled Thalia with irritation. She’d already been exhausted from the

previous night’s activities, hadn’t slept nearly enough before being rudely awakened, thinking it must be something important–only for it to be about Drake.

Thalia was thoroughly annoyed, her temper flaring. She responded testily: “If he dies, just arrange the funeral. Let me know when it’s happening, and out of respect for our past relationship, I’ll send a generous condolence gift to his mother.”

With that, Thalia promptly hung up, not caring about James‘ reaction, and switched her phone to silent.

The commotion had awakened Asher. From beneath the covers, he tightened his arm around Thalia, his voice deep and magnetic. “Stay and sleep a bit longer with me.”

Thalia nestled closer to Asher, like an affectionate kitten seeking warmth.

The two of them lay snuggled in the same warm duvet, holding each other close.

The world seemed to contain only the two of them.

No matter how fiercely the snow and wind raged outside, it had nothing to do with them.

When James placed the call, Drake was already awake.

The call had been James‘ own idea, though he knew exactly what Drake was thinking.

Drake was clinging to an unrealistic hope–he desperately wanted to know if Thalia would be concerr about him nearly dying. Would she come to see him?

So he had anticipated this call eagerly.

However, when Thalia heard he had nearly died, not only did she offer not a single word of concern, but she responded with such cold–hearted words.
