Chapter 71

RIAGHAIRE

You Twice

Riaghaire was unsure what to do with himself. His gréine wasn’t bothered by the closed door, which was fine by him. Though he now had a dislike fo spaces, this room had a window, allowing him to see beyond the walls when the curtains were open. And there was firs human, who lay in the bed attempting to sleep. He wasn’t alone and that made the biggest difference.

He watched her for a minute before making his way to the door, where he flicked off the overhead light.

“Don’t you need that to read?,” inquired Beatrice.

“No,” he replied, turning to look at her. “I am able to see in the dark. Would you prefer it remain lit?”

“Uh… no. Dark is good, thanks.”

Returning to his spot near the window, Riaghaire picked up one of the books he’d set them on the bedside table opposite the one Beatrice was usin her water and opened it. But he soon found he was unable to concentrate. He must have read the first page five times and couldn’t remember a sing word.

He looked over at his gréine, who was curled up with her back to him. Visually, she appeared to be asleep, but he could hear her quiet breathing and st heart beat. They hadn’t changed since she’d first laid down, meaning she was still awake.

He returned to the book, wondering if perhaps she was uncomfortable having him in the same room. No… if this arrangement had bothered his greine, would not have proposed it in the first place.

She had previously spoken of not wanting to sleep, for fear that the beast would appear in her dreams. Perhaps that was impeding her from sleeping, he figured.

A huff came from his human as she rolled over, now facing him. Riaghaire could see her eyes were open and she was, for some unknown reason, glaning) him. “Is something the matter?,” he inquired, not understanding why she would be giving him such a look.

“Are you just going to stand there the entire time I’m asleep?”

A frown creased his brow at her question. It was not what he’d expected her to say, and it reminded him of her tendency to always respond in the sal astonishing of ways. Could he do the same? It took him a minute of wracking his brais to realse just how easy she made it looks grease was las quick to think of her retorts, while he came up of none at all, even after spending time attempting to do so. “Would you prefer Eve he replied after
