Chapter 21

“We have got to stop waking up on a couch like this.” Jace spoke, when Lissa's eyes fluttered open. He had been laying awake, for the past ten minutes, just watching his ex sleep, like a creep. He didn't want to wake her, last night really took a toll on her energy levels, so she needed all the rest she could get.

She looked down, to see what he meant. And by heaven's gate! They were tangled up in each other's bodies. Again. Why do they always fall asleep like this? Maybe they just fall asleep in each other's arms, because they find comfort in doing so. In his arms, Lissa has the best sleeps. His arms are her safe place.

The same goes for him. When Lissa lays against his chest, he feels a sense of protection over her. And he likes that feeling.

She laughed, “These are all spur-of-the-moment sleeps. It just happens.” she lifted herself up and yawned, “We should probably freshen up. We have long day ahead of us.”
