“Why are you yawning so much? Don’t you sleep at night?” Mr West barked at me, dropping a pile of papers on my desk with a slap. His eyes bored into me, his finger tapping the papers. “One hour.”

I didn’t sleep, no. I’d been too busy with Zeus to eventhinkof sleeping. I glanced at the papers, nodding tersely.

My cheeks flamed, but I nodded, gazing back at my screen.
