Through the dim light streaming in from outside, she could see that he was already lying in bed...
She didn't know if he had fallen asleep, but she was grateful the light was off, preventing much awkwardness...
She walked to the bed and lay down on the other side, feeling a bit tense.
However, she was lying on her side with her back to him, so upon realizing he made no movement, her nervousness gradually calmed.
Yet, as she let go of her worries and closed her eyes, trying to force herself to sleep, he suddenly embraced her.
Rebecca Quentin's breath immediately tightened, and she quickly turned to look at him.
His eyes remained closed, but his arm was wrapped around her waist.
Rebecca Quentin tried to pry his arm off but found he wouldn't let go at all.
With no choice, she resigned to it, relieved that he was only holding her without any other moves.
Rebecca Quentin gradually stopped minding, turned sideways, and faced away from him, closing her eyes again.
