Mia’s POV I barely slept. Not because the bed was uncomfortable. It actually wasn’t. The room was quieter than I expected, and after the noise of the journey and the auditorium, the silence should have helped me rest.

I turned slightly, staring at the ceiling above my bunk. “You really don’t know.” His words replayed in my head. What was I supposed to know? And why did he look so certain that I was missing something? My fingers
