Chapter 86

• Grayson
• "Grayson?" she whispered back, her voice barely audible. My heart swelled, and I smiled, relief washing over me. I let her know that I was here now, giving her hand a small squeeze. Her gaze drifted shut again and I settled in beside her, determined to stay by her side until she fully awakened. I watched her chest rise and fall with each gentle breath, glad that everyone had unanimously made the decision to let us be for a while.
• I didn't even want to think about what they would make of my reaction.
