Chapter 158 A Chance

• The night before was a peaceful visit to the most serene portion of my subconscious. Paul, who lay next to me, appeared rather unhappy. He lay on his stomach, eyeing me with suspicion.
• After stretching, I felt the urge to tease him. “Morning,” I cheerfully chimed, preparing to get out of bed. He only nodded back, his body remaining stiff. I wanted to ask if he was alright but thought against it as I walked to the bathroom, noticing my engagement ring was back on my finger.
