Damon.
I didn’t sleep because I hadn’t been able to even close my eyes. Not since her breathing evened out hours ago and the room slipped into that familiar dark silence that usually offered me some kind of clarity but not tonight.
There was no clarity to be found in this bed, not with the warm weight of her body inches away and her scent bleeding into every breath I took. It was wrong not because of what she was or what I’d found out but because of how badly I wanted not to care.
I should care and be be angry that I was lied to even if it wasn’t really a lie. Should be questioning everything I knew about her (about him) about the boy who fought like a beast and earned my respect without ever asking for it. But I wasn’t angry at all.
I was off balance and moved and worse I was think
