Selene~
I didn't hear Christopher come in, probably because I was fast asleep.
When I woke up, he was fast asleep on the floor with a pillow shoved under his head. His jacket was folded neatly beside him and he didn't snore.
Of course he didn't. Even in sleep, Christopher was quiet and controlled.
I ignored his presence, walking past him and then I went to have my bath. My legs still ached from the night before and I didn't want to think about that either.
I closed the bathroom door behind me and turned on the water. It was hot, almost scalding, just how I liked it. When I came back out with a towel wrapped around my body, he was awake but I imagined that he was never asleep in the first place.
An uncanny person, that's what he was.
"Good morning," he said. His voice didn't sound like he'd just woken up.
I gave him a slight nod. "Morning."
