Chapter 37 Forty-eight Hours

• Juliet Morgan's POV
• Sleep abandoned me completely.
• Not the kind of sleeplessness where you toss and turn for an hour before eventually drifting off. This was the kind that settled into your chest and refused to leave, the kind that left your eyes open long after midnight while your mind replayed the same thoughts over and over again until they lost all meaning. I lay on my back staring at the ceiling above my bed, watching shadows shift across the room as passing headlights slipped through the curtains, and every single time I closed my eyes, the same question returned.
