The next morning when I returned to my room, Reiner was there leaning on my door. The last thing that I need right now is to explain why I wasn’t in my room and where I went.

“Long enough to figure out that you were gone practically all night,” Reiner replied as he faced me.

“I don’t think I have to explain myself to you. Step aside, please. I want to be alone,” I said softly as I tried to walk past him into my bedroom.
