~{INGRID'S POV}~
*
The following morning….
"INGRID!"
I jerked wide awake and looked up to find the man from earlier staring down at me in disbelief.
My eyes were a bit hazy so I had to blink several times as I adjusted my position on the ground.
"Don't tell me you actually slept here?" He asked like he was hoping I'd say no.
When I tried to get up, he quickly offered his assistance and I didn't stop him.
When I stood on my feet, I gave a shy smile while subconsciously running my fingers through my hair to fix it because I knew it would be a mess.
As if getting his answer, he gasped and I could tell he was extremely baffled.
"You mean you slept right here. In front of this very gate and outside where danger is certain?" He asked again and this time I gave a small nod.
"Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed and looked around for any dangers before facing me again.
