Alexia's POV
I waited for Aiden.
And waited.
And waited.
Up until midnight—and still, he didn't show.
I didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed. On one hand, it meant I wouldn't have to deal with his sharp, knowing gaze, or worse—him asking me any suspicious questions. On the other hand… why the hell was I even waiting for him?
Ugh. Stupid Aiden. Stupid past life nonsense. Stupid Liz. He could stay at the damn hospital with her all night for all I cared. It's not like I was losing sleep over it. Nope. Not at all.
Except I was.
I sighed, finally giving up and heading to our room. But when I saw the big, stupid, comfortable bed we shared, I scowled. I wasn't sleeping there. Not when I was this mad.
So what did I do? I grabbed a pillow, stomped over to the couch, and plopped down dramatically.
