This night, Fluffy Zane tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She was worried about Sophie Sullivan and had no idea how she was doing now. Sophie had run away, and now that Thomas Shannon had caught her, what would happen to her... Moreover, failing to protect her had filled Fluffy with guilt.
「...」
Having slept early last night, Sophie woke up when the sky was just turning a fish belly whiteness.
She lifted her hand and rubbed her eyes, only to find a man lying beside her.
Her mind was foggy for a moment, but after a while, it seemed she recalled seeing Thomas Shannon in her half-asleep state.
She slipped one hand under his shirt, and her tender, boneless fingers touched his clearly-defined chest.
Yes, it was Thomas Shannon, no doubt.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her own through the shirt.
"AH!" Sophie let out a startled cry.
The man's sharp eyes slowly opened, his voice a bit cold. "Awake?"
"Yeah." It's just a touch. Does he need to react so strongly?
