Chapter 61

Delilah's POV:

I waited for his answer and strained my ears to catch any whisper but he didn't respond. I wanted to talk to this stranger as I was in no mood to spend the night in my own misery. But apparently, he was in no mood to talk to me.

Deciding not to disturb him anymore, I stood up. I was just about to go to the other end and lie down when I heard a really low and rough whisper, "Ryan. Ryan Hooper."

My ears perked up at that. I knew he wasn't a talkative person but I was glad he was at least making an effort. I flopped back to the earlier spot and said his name aloud, "Ryan."

He grunted and I chuckled, "That's a nice name."

Silence followed once again which was broken by his almost inaudible whisper, "Thanks for the apples."

Smiling slightly, I admitted, "I am glad you ate them."

Leaning back, I rested my head against the wall, "How long have you been here?"

"100 years, 4 months, and 28 days to be exact," he bit out.

I inhaled sharply, "You are counting the days."
