Chapter 35

• Harper lay in bed, tossing and turning. Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, she was instantly awakened by the sound of the bedroom door opening. She could hear the creak of the door. She could practically feel it open. But no one came in.
• The whole reason why she couldn't sleep in the first place was that she wanted Wyatt. She needed to be in his arms, to bathe in his scent all night. She didn't want to sleep. Every muscle and fiber in her body was telling her to get up and find him. Despite her instincts telling her otherwise, she lay under her sheets. She could feel something developing between the two of them—something more than just a contract—but she didn't want to risk it. Her worst fear was that Wyatt would tell her that it was all an act.
