Chapter 604: Tobias Is Awake
Sophia woke slowly.
For a brief moment, she didn't move, her mind caught somewhere between sleep and awareness. Then reality settled in, and her eyes opened.
She was on the bed.
That alone made her pause.
She didn't need to look around to know Orion wasn't in the room with her.
A frown formed on her face.
"When did—"
She didn't finish the thought.
She was already moving.
Sophia swung her legs off the bed and stood up, not bothering to fix anything as she made her way to the door. Her hand wrapped around the handle, and she pulled it open—
At the same time, someone on the other side did the same.
Ronan stumbled forward slightly, clearly not expecting the door to open from her side.
"—Whoa—"
He caught himself just in time, his hand bracing against the doorframe as he steadied his balance.
Sophia blinked at him.
He blinked back.
