After Cassius left, Nevaeh let out a deep breath, her knees giving out as she collapsed onto the bed.
When he had asked her those questions earlier, her heart had gone into chaos.
In that instant, she realized something she didn't want to admit, somewhere along the line, she had started developing strange, uncontrollable feelings for him.
The thought alone made her even more flustered.
Groaning softly, she pulled the blanket over her head, trying to bury the heat rising to her cheeks and shut out every confusing thought running through her mind.
Outside, the moonlight shimmered faintly, spilling through the curtains and casting a gentle glow across her face.
She couldn't sleep.
Every small sound made her heart jump, afraid Cassius might suddenly barge in again. But the night passed quietly. He didn't come.
He must have stayed in his study.
When morning came, Nevaeh woke early.
The memories of last night came crashing back, and embarrassment washed over her.
