Matthew grabbed her wrist and said coldly, “I’m tired, Kirsten.”
Though she felt a pinch in her heart at how coldly he spoke to her, Kirsten still pressed her body against his back and said, “I can’t sleep without your embrace. Please, hold me, Matthew.”
“Go to James.” His three words fell like three slaps on her face. Kirsten retracted her arm and rolled on her side. Getting up from the bed, her wrist was grabbed by Matthew.
