chapter 80
Curled in Colton s arms in bed, my head laid on his chest as I listen to that steady rhythm of his heartbeat, I doze in and out of peaceful and contented slumber. Something keeps waking me when I start to fall deeply, and I can t seem to put my finger on it. Like a dream or a feeling that s just out of sight and seems to jump in to haul me back whenever my consciousness drifts away. An unease or a threatening nightmare maybe, it s definitely a sense of wrong and try as I might, I can t seem to fall into blissful darkness for any length of time. It s almost dawn and I have barely dozed for more than twenty-minute slots at a time. I m frustrated and exhausted, yet I can t seem to rest.
