When Kit opened her eyes, it took her a moment to remember whose she should be looking into. Jate was staring at her, a twinkle in his hazel eyes, and she couldn’t help but smile. “Please tell me you haven’t been up all night.”

Kit hoped that didn’t mean she’d done anything unbecoming while she was out. She decided he wouldn’t be smiling so broadly if she had. “Well, then, perhaps I should just go back to sleep and let you watch me a little longer.”
“You can, if you’d like,” he said, his fingertips trailing down her bare shoulder. “But I had something else in mind.”
