** Harper **
Harper was so, so tempted to snatch the offer. The prospect of falling asleep in Eli's arms and waking up snuggled against him had tantalized her for weeks, and the chance to finally do it was almost too luring to resist. But she knew all too well that if she did stay, there would be neither falling asleep nor waking up actually happening, which would be a terrible idea considering the important meetings lined up for the next day.
So it was with tremendous regret and reluctance that she eventually left Eli's room, snuck back to her own, and tried to persuade herself that she had made a worthy sacrifice for the betterment of mankind.
