"Did you… by any chance, hear anything?"
Zach shook his head. "No. I figured it was just a nightmare. You kept tossing around the bed, so I took the couch."
I felt relieved but also embarrassed.
"Oh, Zach, I’m so sorry."
He stepped closer, his gaze softening. "You know, if you want to talk about it, I’m all ears."
I forced a small smile. "Thanks, but it’s alright."
He studied me for a moment, as if trying to read between the lines, then shrugged. "Okay. I’m heading to the shower."
I nodded, grateful for the escape. Just then, my phone dinged. Beatrice.
‘Please meet me outside.’
Without hesitation, I rushed out, spotting Beatrice casually leaning against the wall. She glanced around before fixing her gaze on me.
"So… how’s it been so far?" she asked, crossing her arms.
