Scarlett POV
Sunday.
I got up very early.
Ryan had told me the estate was more fun in the morning, so I wasn’t about to sleep half the day away.
The second I stepped out of the master bedroom, Jaxen came walking over with that suspicious look on his face.
“7 o’clock. It’s your day off, honey. Why are you up this early?”
He knew my weekend routine way too well. Early rising meant something was off in his head.
“Why do you care what time I get up?” I shot him a look. “You take every chance to ask me useless questions. Can’t you ask something that actually matters?”
“That’s not a useless question.”
His eyes flicked toward the bedroom.
He hadn’t pushed his way back into my room lately.
He was being careful, probably scared that pushing too hard would only make things worse.
