It was late at night by the time I finally reached the inn. Sophie had fallen asleep in my arms and looked to be sleeping quite comfortably. When I entered the suite, my maids were actually up waiting on me and went right to work preparing a bath. I reluctantly woke Sophie up, who was very confused at first but quickly turned as red as an apple as she realized she had fallen asleep.
I chuckled as I let her down. "No need to feel embarrassed. You have had a long day. Annie and the girls are getting the bath ready. Let's bathe, eat, then sleep, okay? You can spend the night with me."
Sophie lowered her head and nodded, and followed behind me. But I could feel her gaze poking me in the back of the head as we walked. It was quite the intense stare. I wonder if she has something to say? Well, if she wants to talk, she will talk. I will not force her to say anything if she does not want to.
