Chapter 218 - Forget

-Ryland Grayson:

I wasn't asleep.

But I didn't open them either.

Because I could already tell what kind of morning this was going to be.

He probably wouldn't handle silence well after things like yesterday. Not the loud parts, not only the physical parts— but also the after. The part where everything goes quiet, and your brain starts filling in gaps you didn't ask it to.

So I stayed still.

Let him think I wasn't awake.

Let him move.
