Chapter 101: Eye Contact
Gale woke up earlier than Swan, right when the sun was rising. He didn't need sleep, and there was no difference in his body whether he slept for hours or not.
But sleeping made him feel better mentally. It made his head clearer, but it only worked when he fell asleep with Swan by his side.
He tried sleeping outside once when they argued before, but he couldn't even close his eyes for more than five seconds. On top of that, he felt tired and grumpy when the sun began to rise.
That's why he knew Swan was the reason he could fall asleep. She was the remedy that he needed.
He didn't understand why Swan kept pushing him to be with that new woman.
Gale patted Swan's head as she was in a deep sleep and murmured, "Did I not make myself clear enough? I don't plan to be with someone else. It's just you and me against this cruel world, Swan."
