“But if you’re cold, you’re cold.”
“Okay.”
“God, I wish you didn’t look so haunted. It’s killing me, Duchess.”
“I’ll be okay. I just need some time.” I headed for the stairs.
Twenty minutes later, scrubbed free of makeup and hair product, I was dressed in a pair of sweats and a thick sweatshirt.
Bones had turned on the gas fireplace and he was sitting on the couch. He set his phone down as I walked into the room. He looked comfortable in my space. He’d removed his leather cut and rolled up the sleeves of his button down.
“Cam’s awake,” he said. “I just got the call.”
“Lily?”
He shook his head.
I sighed and took the seat next to him.
“You want some tea?”
“No.”
He settled the blanket on top of me and then wrapped an arm around me.
“You want to watch one of your comfort movies? Sabrina the remake, with Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford?”
I looked at him. “How did you know about that?”
“I saw your Netflix queue.”
I smiled. “Oh.” I buried my head against his chest. “No, I don’t want to watch a comfort movie. Even though that is a good one. Way lighter than the original.”
“You want to sit here in silence and let me hold you?”
I closed my eyes. “Yeah, I’d like that.”

It only took me a moment to realize I was in bed—Bones must’ve carried me at some point. I had no recollection of falling asleep.
“What time is it?” I asked, my gaze darting to the window. It was daylight, and I deduced that it must’ve been late morning.
“3 PM,” he said.
“What?”
“It’s 3 PM. You fell asleep and I moved you to bed. You slept the night through.” His brow furrowed.
“What?”
“You had me worried,” he said. “I called Charlie. She told me you do this sometimes.”
“Do what sometimes?” I asked carefully.
“When things get stressful, you check out and sleep for fifteen, eighteen hours.”
