Chapter 97

• Queen for a Day
• Despite what I might have hoped, Evander did not take advantage of me that first night. We were both far too exhausted. It's sad because he made a big show of taking me to his "bower" only for us to fall asleep mid-kiss. Wrapped tightly in each other's arms, the two of us slept for an entire 24 hours before waking up for a brief breakfast, only to fall asleep again as soon as we were done getting ready for our day. I have never been the type of person who had the benefit of rest. I always felt a need to go go go.
• But my body was done with giving me a choice since the choices I've been making have resulted in minimal sleep and extended opportunities for injury. Both Evander and I are in similar situations only in that we have both gone through so much of our bodies were so weak.
