“You’re still awake?” I asked after seeing Amos staring at me.
He cupped my face and slowly brushed off strays of hair on my face. “I… haven’t really slept.”
I got up in surprise, “What? Why, did something happen?”

Amos got up as well and shook his head. “No, not really.”
“You’re… not sleeping because you’re worried I’ll see that dream again. Don’t you?” I quickly realized and felt guilty. Amos couldn’t give me a straight answer when I asked him about his conversation with Cole. Only that he gave the necklace back to him, and I shouldn’t think about it.
I understood his sentiment of protecting me, but I could feel his fear and confusion, which I don't often
