ALICE’S POV.After dinner, I decided to head back upstairs. My encounter with Ethan this evening made me more than exhausted, I needed rest.“Thank you for dinner, I’ll head back to my room now,” I said, getting up from the couch.“Good night, and sleep tight,” Jake said with a smile. And I nodded.“Yeah, you too,” While i was about to drift off to sleep, I heard the sound of my door slowly creak open. With fear, i quickly turned around, my eyes landing on Jake.“I'm sorry, did i wake you?“ He whispered. I shook my head.“No, you didn't, but you scared me,” i said, and we both giggled slightly.“Sorry,.I didn't mean to, I only wanted to check up on you,” He said, his gone dropping.“T—Thank you,” I said, feeling warmth against my cheek.“Alright, I'll head back to my room now, please be rest assured that you're safe, okay,” he said. He was referring to the part where i said i was scared.“Okay, thanks,” I mumbled.But as he turned to leave, i felt this sudden urge to call him back.“
