Shadow POV
Not getting an invitation into Pip's room wasn't surprising, but it was definitely disappointing. I really didn't want to leave her alone.
What if she has another nightmare?
I needed to be with her.
A strange place, alone in a room, no one to support her through the nightmares.
She needs me.
Would it look desperate if I camped outside her door all night, hoping Pip would call out?
But the rooms are soundproof, so sitting at her door wouldn't help her or me. I admonished myself for useless thoughts.
I made sure Pip knew which number to dial if she had a nightmare and wanted company. I got that one right before Pip could question why I told her.
Would she call me, though?
That was the clincher; it made me walk away.
I knew she wouldn't call me.
Pip likes to solve her
