The night had been filled with unforgettable moments, and it was the second time Cassian felt his life had taken a sharp turn. But what stuck with him most was the ship's dive—at least, that's what he thought until he found himself lying next to a sleeping Katherine.
He clung to the edge of the bed, trying his best to fall asleep, but his restless mind wouldn't let him. He'd insisted on sleeping on the floor, but Katherine had refused, forcing him to lie beside her.
Now, he barely dared to move, holding his breath in fear of disturbing her. To make matters worse, his wandering thoughts kept urging him to sneak a glance at her while she slept, hoping to see a little more than he should.
Cassian fought the urge with all his will, but finally gave in and shifted his position. As he moved, he realized Katherine was already facing him, her yellow eyes wide open and staring, surprising him.
