Chapter 31: Not Tonight
I can’t fall back asleep. I’m not sure I want to after my dream turned nightmare. I swear I can still feel their hands on my skin sending shivers through my body. Althea has fallen asleep. I can hear her heavy breathing. I think about waking her and asking what Theo told her, but then think better of it. Instead, I get up and pace, but then my feet become tired soon after.
“Ugh!” I groan.
Maybe it was the dream or Althea’s words echoing in my head. I feel restless.
And all I can think about is Ambrose, his voice from my dream echoing in my head.
I sigh. I just need to talk to him.
I slip into a robe, tying it tightly around my waist before I start toward his room. It’s late, I’d be surprised if he was awake.
I tap lightly on his door. This isn't a good idea…
There isn’t an immediate answer and I consider returning to my room, but then the door cracks open.
