CHAPTER 13: Rejected

  I woke up the next morning hoping that what happened between Sinclair and I was just a dream, but the terrible cold I woke up with assured me that it was indeed neither my imagination nor a dream.

  Sinclair, who was always on my neck and who I constantly bickered with, danced in the rain with me and even shared a romantic moment.

  "It has to be a lucid nightmare," I whispered.

  It replayed in my head a few more times while I sat in bed, but the craziest part was what happened with Gabriel. It replayed in my head too, like a broken record.

  How was I supposed to live in the house with two men who have made sexual utterances at me? Did they see me as a sex toy or an object to satisfy their sexual desires?

  First Gabriel, now Sinclair. Who is next? Caleb?

  The thought of it made my headache, and I fell back on the bed. It wouldn’t be so bad if I skipped making breakfast. I knew I needed the rest, but it was close to impossible.
