Chapter 20 : Blaise is a Problem

*Kenna*

I woke slowly, but I didn’t want to get up. I was comfortable in the warm, plush bedding and I didn’t want to disrupt that comfort by throwing the duvet aside. I cracked my eyes open and looked at the empty space beside me. It must be late, for Reid to have gotten up without me. He had been quite happy to cuddle with me throughout the night and I had found it comforting to realize that I was in his arms every time I woke up.

I still felt too tired to get up. I dozed lazily for an indeterminable amount of time, but eventually, the sound of hushed voices reached me. I listened closely and was able to make out Matt and Reid’s voices.

I got out of bed and found my bag sitting on the chair nearby. Matt and Jack must have brought it from the car when they’d gotten back. I took my bag and went into the ensuite bathroom. In the mirror, I could see the red bite mark on my right shoulder. I touched it gingerly. It looked painful, but it wasn’t and it was healing quickly.
