Tooth and nail

Nero POV

I stood at the foot of the bed, judging if I should wake Blake because she had been mad at me last night, refusing to snuggle or say a word to me, and I felt so damn hopeless.

In the past, Blake has been angry at me before but not for a straight three days, and even then there was only mild yelling, but she’s never gone this long without telling me what she wants, and it is driving me crazy.

Even though it is my fault, I didn't know I could miss her so fucking much when she's still in my life, especially when I can barely sleep at night because I can hear her breathing and heartbeat by my side.
