This time, I completely froze. Like a statue who couldn't move a muscle. He's awake?

It still felt embarrassing to be caught like this. I bit my lower lip, closing my eyes briefly in regret.

"I — I'm just…" The rest of my words drifted into his mouth.

Sam tilted his head to the side, pushing back my words with his deep whisper.
