Callum, Echo, and Paris are gone for most of the day, and I enjoy the solitude of being alone in the house. I pass the time exploring rooms and reading—I finish the first book and start the second, which is an even more thrilling adventure. When they haven’t returned by dinnertime, I put together a quick meal for myself, leaving plates of food for all three of them in the kitchen.

Sleep comes easier tonight. Partially, I’m assuming, because of the energy I expended playing with the weave all morning, but also partly because I’m alone.

When the men are around, even if they’re in a completely opposite wing of the large house, I feel like a string pulled too tight. I’m constantly aware of their presence, even when they’re busy in another room, and the pull toward them seems to grow stronger with every passing day instead of growing weaker as I hoped it would.

But for tonight, I’m just… me again.

So I sleep soundly, lost in colorful dreams instead of nightmares.

I awake in the darkness sometime much later, lying on my side beneath the covers. A warm breeze plays at the curtains on my open window, and just beyond the gauzy material, I catch a glimpse of the moon high in the sky. It’s late, and I don’t know what woke me.

I lie still for a long minute, just watching the curtains undulate and enjoying the warm caress of the wind. The house is quiet, but the men are back. My soul knows it, even though I didn’t hear them come home.

After a few moments, I become aware of a new sensation. Something that isn’t the scent of flowers on the breeze or tendrils of wind on my skin. This is different—more primal, like a sixth sense.

Someone is watching me.

My primal instincts make me stiffen, and I’m suddenly reminded that my back is to the door. I don’t know if I locked it when I went to bed. Even worse, I don’t know who or what else besides my messengers dwells in this realm. Could something or someone have broken into the house? Panic seizes me as my imagination tries to convince me there’s a monster in my room.

I roll over, my body already tensed to fight.

I wasn’t wrong. Someone is here. In the darkness, I see eyes glittering near my bedroom door.

But as I take in more of the shadowy shape, relief overrides my panic.

It’s just Callum, watching me from the shadows like he did the night I had nightmares and ended up throwing the entire contents of my room around with magic.

Just as quickly as that thought comes, irritation replaces relief.

The stoic, surly messenger is probably watching me in my sleep because he expects me to farse things up again. He saw me in the courtyard earlier—he knows I’ve gotten better control over my power already. But Echo must’ve told him what happened last night, and as far as Callum is concerned, I’m at risk of doing it again.

But then I realize he isn’t looking at me with annoyance or suspicion.
