Christian's invitation

Even though she had heard all the stories from the three closest people to Christian in person, Elena was still not satisfied, her curiosity was still exploding inside her. Seeing the scar on Christian's head makes Elena sure that there is one big reason that makes Jackson Clarke have the heart to do that to his own biological child. While still searching for answers to the questions that kept popping up in her head, Elena was suddenly surprised by the presence of two large hands hugging her stomach from behind.

"Why was I left to sleep alone?" Christian asks in a half-whisper from the back of Elena's neck.

Elena smiled. "Because I didn't want to bother you, that's why I left."

"Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Because I'm not sleepy, Christ."
