Chapter 12 Was Nathan coming back? Or was he about to burst in here and yell at me again? He shouldn't have heard I just touched myself to his name right? The footsteps stayed there for what felt like an eternity. I could almost feel the weight of whoever was on the other side, could sense them standing there wrestling with some internal decision. Then, slowly, the footsteps retreated back down the hallway. I heard Nathan’s door open and close, and then silence fell over the house again. I let out the breath I had been holding and climbed into bed fully clothed. I pulled the covers up to my chin and stared at the wall, my mind racing with too many thoughts to process. What is going to happen tomorrow? How was I supposed to face Nathan after what had just happened between us?
