Chapter One Hundred And Seventeen

Rae’s POV

“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead.”

I groaned as I popped one eye open to see Lucas hovering above me. It was a welcoming sight because the last time I had woken up to this, it was in the fishing village.

Usually, it was often accompanied by him making love to me for the rest of the morning but I didn’t think that was going to happen now given how tense things still were between us.

“How many hours did I sleep?” I yawned as I stretched out on the bed. I still felt tired, and understandably so.

“It’s past 3:00 PM,” Lucas replied.

“My goodness,” My eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you let me sleep that long?”

“You looked like you could use it,” Lucas shrugged. “Kim called an hour ago. She was just waking up as well.”

I nodded. “It was one of those nights.”

Lucas handed me a cup of tea which I gratefully accepted with both hands welcoming the relief a couple of sips brought with it.

“Are you ready to talk about it now?” Lucas asked gently, sitting on the edge of the bed.
