I wrapped my arms tightly around my middle as my stomach growled again.

Ruefully I thought of the breakfast tray Rose had brought it up to my bedroom.

I, of course, had refused it out of spite.

It was filled with healthy food and vegetables. Vegetables!

Who the hell ate vegetables for breakfast?

She told me Gregor had informed her I probably hadn’t eaten something fresh and green for weeks. The fact that was true did not give him the right to dictate what I ate. Although secretly it gave me a warm feeling to know he even cared enough to think about my meals. Since my mother essentially stopped raising me when I was twelve, I had forgotten what a home cooked meal even tasted like.

Now on top of regretting not eating, I was pacing around the confines of my bedroom like a caged animal.

Exhausted, I massaged my temples; I had barely slept. My mind raced from one fanciful thought to the next all night.

I kept staring at the connecting door, knowing he was just on the other side. Was he in bed? Was he listening for my moments? Did the knob just turn? No? Was I disappointed or relieved? Did he sleep in pjs or naked? He probably slept naked, like a caveman. I could just imagine him stripping off his suit like he was shedding the trappings of society. He would be all tanned skin, tattoo ink, and muscle. I wondered what his tattoos looked like. The swallow on his hand was black. Would the rest be black as well or colorful? There were only a few indistinct lines on his neck, not enough to decipher an image. What kind of images would a man like Gregor have forever inked on his body? I doubt he favored cute hearts and cartoon characters like me.

I had heard him rise several hours ago.

Again, I waited, not knowing if I wanted him to knock on my door or not.

He didn’t.

It had been at least an hour since I sent Rose and her breakfast tray away.

An hour of pacing and uncertainty while I hid away in my bedroom like a scolded child.

What the hell was I supposed to do?

I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to march down the hall and straight out the front door, but there was no freaking way that was going to happen. Gregor had made that fact crystal clear yesterday.

This was ridiculous. With a huff, I pivoted and headed for the door stopping just as my hand closed over the doorknob. I released the cold knob as if it had burned me. Taking several steps backward, I fell back onto the bed.

I was a coward.

No two ways about it.

I was that scared teenage girl refusing to leave the hotel room again. For months after leaving, nothing Yelena did could convince me to leave the safety of our rooms. I saw monsters in every shadow. Finally, she started picking cities with museum collections I couldn’t resist. Ironically, walking among
