Chapter 265

After Krystle left, Rose went right to bed. With Zayne not present, Rose could look straight out the window since his large frame wasn't there to block her view. 

The sky had already turned dark but it was still early into the night so morning was a long way from here. To have it come sooner, all Rose needed to do was go to sleep but for some reason, she wasn't tired yet. 

As long as she didn't step foot outside her bedroom and went to find Zayne then she would win.

"That isn't hard to do," Rose whispered but part of her was uncertain she would last long.

Rose was wrong that she could sleep without him. She had done it for many years but she had become accustomed to sharing a room with Zayne. First at his camp, on the ship, and now here. It was easy to fall asleep when he was close by and now she was left to sleep alone and endure her thoughts.

"Sleep," Rose said as though it would put her in a trance to fall asleep.
