Danielle blinked awake, and was confused for a second about where she was, but then she saw Theo.
Theo was sitting in the same chair as last night, his arms looked more loosely, his head was lifted just slightly back against the wall.

His jaw was sharp in the morning light, his stubble darker, his shirt still creased from the night before.
'He didn't even close his eyes,' she thought. 'Was he really watching me all night?'
Her next thought made her cheeks burn.
'Oh God, what if I snored? Or talked? Or…no. Please tell me I didn't drool or far…'
