The morning after came far sooner than Xenia expected. Her memories of yesterday had been a blur. She didn't think that she'd pass out after that test, but she supposed that even she had her limits.
She could only thank her lucky stars that Darius had been with her throughout that endeavor.
"How are you feeling, Xen?"
Waking up, she held her head as she groaned out her discomfort. It wasn't as painful as the one time she rowed the Lucian like an idiot, but it was still considerable as she looked at her mate.
"Dreadful," she sarcastically quipped. "What happened last night?"
Darius raised an eyebrow as he looked at her from their table. "You passed out from dehydration," he explained, raising a cup of tea up to his lips as he continued. "You passed, of course, but you came awfully close to dying last night."
Xenia blinked at the way her beloved delivered such news. "Well, you certainly don't sound like I almost died."
