KATIE

There is absolutely nothing to freak out about. It’s just a man asleep in my bed. Not just any man, Loren. Gentleman to a fault, who’s still wearing his trousers and button up shirt from last night.

Nothing happened except actual unconsciousness.

But I am having a goddamn panic attack.

I slip from my bed that smells like the freshest laundry and crispest books, to flee the sanctuary of my bedroom.

Why is waking up next to Loren so hard? Is it Loren, or would I be equally unhinged over any man in my bed?

I practically trip down the stairs, catching myself by pressing one hand to the wall and the other on the banister and hoisting my clumsy legs up. I swing lithely down the last three steps and land silently.

Well done me!

I pad to the kitchen. Maybe coffee will help me clear my head.

I pause in the living room, looking out the window to the sunrise. Or sunsrise, since both the larger and smaller suns are peeking above the horizon.

The larger sun is a golden orb, just like on Earth. But the smaller one has more red in it, casting a distinctly pink tinge as it floods the world with morning light.

It’s only about six am. Everyone is still in bed. I should be in bed, but Loren is there and I just can’t face, well, him. These quiet intimacies of waking up with someone, even though we haven’t actually slept together yet.

I sigh.

“Looking for coffee?”

I nearly jump out of my skin. I hadn’t seen anyone moving in the kitchen.

Callum stands with a mug in one hand, and a bottle of water in the other. He’s dressed in running shorts and a tank top, his skin glazed with sweat.

His short dark hair is plastered to his forehead, and his black eyes are bright with a halo of green around the edges. Every inch of him is muscled and lean.

I gape for a moment before I can collect myself. This rumpled, civilian version of Callum is magnificent. His scent is clean despite the sweat, and my mouth waters as I breathe his lime and fresh fir in.

“I… yes, I just got up.” I stutter, my heart hammering wildly like I’m talking to a middle school crush. I feel my cheeks heat so I turn to the window. “You know, we only have one sun back home. It’s so strange to see two.”

In my periphery Callum sets down the mug, and moves closer but keeping a respectful distance.

“I think they would be lonely without one another,” he says, his voice raspy from his workout. He sips his water before continuing. “Even the suns are pack. That’s how all of Savolinna is organized– as pack. From the suns, and the stars that cluster together at night, to how we humans create families.”

He takes a breath then shrugs. He sips more water, like he’s swallowing back all the words he’d say. I wish he would tell me more.

I should despise the man. I mean he assaulted me.
