Chapter 47 Peachy

• ALEXA
• I woke with a dull ache behind my eyes, the memory of last night's events replaying in my head. The most unsettling one was waking up to find myself standing in front of the vault with Killian. I had sleepwalked for the first time in a long time, only to end up there. Even my subconscious mind seemed to be under pressure. Killian hadn't said much. He'd quietly led me out of the vault I hadn't known existed. A part of me was worried that last night's sleepwalking would create a rift between us.
• I sat up slowly in bed, rubbing my temples. My nightgown was still wrinkled. My feet were bare. But the faint scent of espresso and something warm and buttery was drifting in from the hallway.
