Bab 30: Chapter 30: Want Him, Too

Despite being exhausted, I’m awake. I’m standing by my desk, the only light in the room coming from the moon outside. I’m not sure what time it is or what I should do to help myself sleep.

My mind wanders absently over the case, but I can’t seem to focus on any thought or clue. It’s all jumbled like I’m completing a puzzle blindfolded. My head snaps up as I hear the lock on the door click open. It’s too dark to see who enters, but I sigh as I expect Althea’s voice to ask to sleep beside me tonight.

“Can’t sleep either?” I ask into the dark.

I shiver at the male’s voice that says my name in response.

“Hera,” Ambrose says. He closes the door behind him and I can sense as he comes closer. I thought he’d be too upset to speak with me, at least for a while. But if he came looking for comfort, I certainly don’t mind providing it. Especially since I think I could use a distraction right now, too.
