Rose lay in bed with Caius; his right hand lay beneath her head, and her back faced him. She could easily see the bandages on his wrist as he lay his hand straight on the bed. His other hand held her close to his body, and she felt his heartbeat against her back. His steady, soft breathing made hers sound ridiculously loud. Echoing in the room and just as loudly in her head.
Dinner has been over for quite some time now, and she found out during dinner that Lord Paul had left for the capital. She was concerned, but Caius didn't seem to want to discuss the topic and had seemed reluctant to inform her about his physician's departure, so she had let it go.
As soon as dinner was over, she lay in bed because she was exhausted from the day and wanted to get some rest as quickly as she could. But somehow, she hasn't slept a wink since she'd gotten into bed.
