Chapter 128
"We have somewhere to go to check if they are your family. You don’t need to force yourself to remember anymore, Rose. You will remember the bad along with the good and it is twice tonight that you feared something. Don’t search for those memories. Wait until we visit Lady Ambrose," Zayne advised Rose.
Rose nodded her head, her hand still covering her face. She was pressed to Zayne’s bare chest because of him hugging her to comfort her. Rose was no longer fearing the memory but nervous about being so close.
Zayne’s body felt like a rock yet incredibly warm. Rose scolded herself for thinking of his body. He was only this way because she came here unannounced.
"You can let go of me. I am sorry for disrupting you going to bed. I will not do it again," Rose promised.
"Why not? I like that you finally ran out to me. Sleep on this side tonight," Zayne proposed, letting go of Rose so she could calm down. "You can have my bed and I will rest on the chair."
"I cannot do that," Rose disagreed.
The chair wasn’t large enough to hold Zayne’s frame.
Rose wiped her eyes. "I can go back to my room and sleep there. I am fine now."
Zayne wiped the tears that continued to spill from Rose’s eyes. "You are not fine if you had to run out here. I have slept in more uncomfortable places than a chair. Take my bed or have you been sleeping on the side of your bed again?"
