Chương 63: Good things take time

The teary carriage ride came to an end, with me falling asleep in Luke's arms. When I woke, I was already back in the comfort of my bed. Though the night was undeniably cold, I managed to stay warm under my duvet, also with the help of the ignited fireplace.

The room was dark, only lit by the lamp on the bedside table. I turned my body around, wanting to see the man on the other side of the bed. When I turned, I found the man still wide awake, reading a book in all seriousness.

He soon noticed my movement and shifted his attention from the book on his hands to me, smiling when his eyes met mine. 

"Did I wake you up?" he queried, his body slightly turned in my direction.

"No, you didn't," I answered, shaking my head, "Why are you still not asleep?" 

"I can't seem to sleep," he said before closing his book, placing it beside his pillow. He then changed his position from sitting to lying on the bed, with his body turned towards my direction.
