Chapitre 177: Counseling Session

Julie laid in the bed next to Roman, her fingers intertwined with his fingers while staring at the ceiling of their room. It had been almost three hours since they had gone to bed, and somewhere in between, she had woken up from her short sleep.

Noticing Roman's eyes that were closed, she didn't want to wake him up. As much as vampires didn't fall asleep as the humans did, their bodies still needed rest, and Julie wanted him to have it. 

She quietly stared at the dark ceiling above them, somewhere glad that things hadn't turned as chaotic as she thought it would be. But most of the credits went to Uncle Thomas, who had become the pacifier and diffuser of the situation when it came to her aunt, who had been about to tell something. 

"Unable to sleep?" came Roman's voice from next to her, and Julie turned her head to look at him, where he had opened his eyes, and she noticed they weren't black but red.
