The room was completely dark because I had closed the curtains completely. My eyes couldn’t make out anything in the darkness. The sound of my harsh breathing filled the room as I panted and struggled to recover from my shock.
“You’re as loud as always…” a low voice whispered from the foot of my bed.
“…Hayden?” I called out his name in disbelief.
It better be Hayden and not some ghost…
“Don’t scream my name when I’m already sitting so close,” Hayden replied calmly.
I felt the mattress shift underneath me slightly as Hayden moved closer to me on the bed. It was dark and I couldn’t make out anything but his silhouette.
“Are you really here?” I asked just to make sure that I wasn’t seeing and hearing things.
“I’m here,” he replied firmly.
He’s really here…wow.
Before I could say anything, Hayden began talking first and the first thing he asked me was…
“Did you eat dinner properly?” he asked.
Seriously, is that what he’s worried about at a time like this?
