When Sebastian finally returned to their room, Elle was already asleep. She had tossed and turned for quite a long time, troubled at how he had just left without saying a word, and only fell asleep as her body just could not hang on to consciousness any longer. Even in her sleep, there was a slight frown etched between her brows.

Sebastian leaned against the door, quietly staring at her sleeping form. His eyes still held that longing for her, as intense as before he left if not more. He had to get out a while ago because he could no longer stand watching her tensing up on her side of the bed and trying to feign sleep. It was obvious that his presence had made her extremely nervous.
