POV: Alaric
I closed the door as carefully as possible so as not to wake Jasmine up. She was still sound asleep, her body curled beneath the covers, lost in the kind of deep rest only I could give her. I wasn't about to disturb that.
We were supposed to go scuba diving today, but after last night, I wasn't sure she'd have the energy for it. Maybe we'd take the day off and stick to something easier–like the bonfire at the villa tonight. She'd love that. For now, I had other things to deal with.
I strode to my room, my mind already shifting into work mode. A shower first—then emails. I knew there'd be a flood of them waiting for me, along with the hundreds of messages from my father that I'd purposely ignored yesterday.
I'd deal with him later.
