REGAN'S POV.
it was past midnight when I finally gathered courage to go into the chamber. That was the only time I was sure I wouldn't run into Iris.
I don't even know why I was avoiding her. The truth is, I cannot handle rejection this time round. It'll kill me.
I was furious with myself. Why was I behaving this way? I had lived my entire life being rejected. What could one more rejection do to me?
But then, the pull on my heart at the thought of Iris trembling in my presence and trying to avoid me made me know I can't stand her rejection.
Like I predicted, she was peacefully sleeping in my bed...OUR bed. I couldn't help but get closer. I had missed those beautiful eyes so much and I couldn't stop imagining how soft her hair would feel should I brush my hands through it.
