Chapter 60

• I didn't know what happened next. I woke up the next morning, covered in a quilt with Japen beside me. I peeked under the covers and saw I was still fully clothed. I sighed in relief.
• Sitting up, I winced as pain throbbed in my head. Looking around, I realized I was still in the same guest room. Then, I glanced at Japen, who was peacefully asleep beside me. Furrowing my brow, I wondered what had happened after... after he kissed me. I looked away. I couldn't remember anything more. And why was my head hurting?
• Rubbing my temple, I carefully climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. Closing the door, I stepped into the shower and let the water soothe me. As I cleaned up, the throbbing in my head slowly eased. I sighed, trying to figure out why my head had hurt so much—maybe because I skipped dinner last night. I rolled my eyes; Simmy hadn't even bothered to bring me dinner. I'd have to deal with her later.
