Aurora’s POV
As much as I hated it and didn’t want to admit it, Cassian was right. Sometimes I needed to learn when to speak and when to shut up and now because I couldn’t do that, he was sitting by the window, staring out of it as if looking for something, while I was trying to sleep. I had deliberately turned my back to him so he couldn’t see that I was still wide awake, but having him in here with me, was weird.
He was the first man I had ever had in my room, or in any room for that matter, and the fact that I could hear his voice in my head, replaying what he said in the doorway, didn’t help me one bit.
“If you want to pretend to be asleep, you should learn to control your breathing,” he said quietly.
I held my breath and closed my eyes, hoping that he would let it go or somehow
