INTERNAL CONFLICTIONS

Fay left the room to get water for Dream. On her way back, she stopped by the room Leighton had previously taken her into, and picked her phone.

She returned to Ace's room, and discovered Dream was already fast asleep in her father's arms.

"So the water was for nothing then?" She muttered, and the sound made Ace open his eyes.

"Sorry, I'll just lea—" she was saying, when her phone rang.

Her eyes went to the time first. It was way past midnight, but also too late for anyone to be calling.

Looking closer, she saw it was Jason.

Through her lashes, she caught Ace's swift glance her way, before he turned away.

With a sigh, she backed him, and answered the call.

"Hey Fay. I wasn't expecting you to pick up," he said the second she answered.

"Then why exactly are you calling this late into the night?" She asked.
