Aurelia Shaw's eyes drooped; when a person relaxes, they just want to find a comfortable place to lie down for a while and do nothing.
Smelling the pleasant scent emanating from him, Aurelia felt even more drowsy.
But she knew she couldn't sleep. Falling asleep outside in such cold weather could lead to a cold, which would delay a lot of things.
Suddenly.
Mason Nightshade pulled her down.
Aurelia looked at Mason in confusion.
He sized her up, frowning slightly, wrapped her in his coat, and murmured, "You can't fall asleep here. Can you keep going? Just hold on for a while more, we're almost there."
His tone was much like coaxing a child.
So he thought her silence just now meant she was about to fall asleep?
Aurelia didn't correct Mason's misconception. She nodded, allowing herself to be wrapped in his embrace as they walked forward.
She wasn't exactly short, but Mason was very tall, giving her a profound sense of security.
