Chapter 44

• I hadn't blinked all night. I was sitting in the entry room, leaning on the wall. My body was so exhausted, but my mind was reeling. Had Blake left? For real? I could see the rays of sunrise through the small windows of the door and my heart stopped beating. It was morning. Had I fucked this up? Was it even my fault? I hit my head on the wall behind me and blinked.
• My muscles jumped into action as I shot up on my feet and expectantly stared at the entrance. My senses were on fire. The door opened and Blake showed up from it.
• His gaze met mine and we stared at each other for what felt like an eternity. He averted his eyes and brushed a hand over his neck.
