Chapter 295: Reiner – Can’t Sleep
“You better get some sleep. Call Laura if you need anything,” Reiner said before turning to leave again.
“What about you?” I asked, clearly confused.
We’re finally back home, doesn’t he want to spend more time with me or anything? I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time and it wasn’t playing out the way that I had expected.
“I’m going to my room. I have work to do. You rest up and I’ll see you tomorrow,” Reiner said, sounding extremely strict.
He was out the door before I could protest or say anything more.
Great. He’s gone.
I wondered what work he had to do that was so urgent...

I lay there in my bed wide-eyed, and I didn’t even bother to count sheep, knowing that it would be useless. After tossing and turning for what felt like an eternity, I sat up on the bed. Without thinking, I swung my legs off the bed and before I knew what I was doing, my feet were already taking me out of the door.
**Knock Knock Knock**
I knocked on the door and waited for the owner of the room to open the door for me. Holding my breath, I counted down from three and just when I was about to count one, the closed door in front of me opened.
