Chapter 219. Playing Couple.
Mauve sat at the edge of the bed. Should she be concerned? She had not seen Jael all day, he did not join them for any of the meals. Even Danag had showed up during dinner which was relieving as she was tired of being stuck with Damon and Erick.
If Jael was avoiding her, this was an extreme way to go about it. It was basically her fault they weren’t on good terms, he did try to make amends even though his ways had annoyed her.
Did she overreact and ruined everything? She had been pretty angry when she woke but not seeing him all day was concerning and that was more than enough to quell her anger.
Maybe she was overthinking this situation. He was usually grumpy, he has never gone as far as to physically avoid her. She shook her head as she remembered Xanthus’ estate. He would go as far as to physically avoid her.
Would she have to go to him at this point? "Arghhh!" She yelled. "This was infuriating. Why does he have to make things so hard?"
The door opened and Mauve sat up straighter and sealed her mouth shut. She slowly looked to the door to see Jael standing at the entrance, she could tell the instant his eyes landed on her. He just stood staring at her for about two seconds before he walked in and closed the door behind him.
"It is late," he said as he walked to the bedside. "You should be asleep."
She shrugged, "I got enough rest during the day."
This was a lie, apparently, she was terrible at knitting. She found this out after Yasmin had spent about three hours trying to teach her. She knew what she had to do but her hands never moved in the manner that she wanted them to.
Yasmin had been patient even though it was pretty obvious Mauve was a terrible student. The vampire seemed cold and barely spoke unless it was absolutely necessary. However, Mauve thought it was more timidity than coldness.
He stopped in front of her, "Still it is late. You should get some sleep. Your arm is barely healed, there is no need to strain yourself."
