Aura moved back into the hall and watched as Riley strode towards the front door. She entered the bedroom once he’d stepped out onto the verandah. She put the daggers and water blaster on the duchess before lying down. Staring at the ceiling, she was surprised to be woken what felt like minutes later. “I slept?”
“Blake and Allie are here.”
“How long did I sleep?” She sat up, glancing around the room. The light was on and the curtain drawn.
“It’s two hours until dawn. We have less than an hour to come up with a plan.”
She sat on the edge of the bed, trying not to yawn. “I can’t believe I slept.”
“They’re waiting in the kitchen for us.” Riley gestured towards the door.
She nodded, trying to focus. “I’ll be out in a minute.”
Riley looked her over, then nodded, striding from the room.
