Chapter 62: Chapter 62: SILLA

“Change!” That’s the greeting I got when I met him on the stairs landing as soon as I walked out of the bedroom. I guess he’d left sometime before I woke up to go back to his room to get cleaned up. Since I now saw him through new eyes, his beauty was not lost on me. Not that he wasn’t always hot, but now there was an added sparkle in his eyes that I hadn’t noticed before.

I also saw his gruffness in a whole new light. It no longer seemed to come from a place of annoyance, at least it hadn’t last night when he ordered me to go back to sleep before hauling me into his arms. But now, I’m back to being unsure. Did he even remember what we’d said to each other last night? His attitude seemed completely different from the man who’d whispered such sweet nothings to me in the dark. The man who’d held me in his arms with such loving care all night.
