“It’s okay. I’m here.” I placed my hands on her arms.
She lifted her head, and her teary eyes stared into mine. “It was so scary.”
“It was only a dream. Come here.” I helped her up from the floor and wrapped my arms around her, pressing her head into my chest. “Let’s get you back in bed.”
“Will you stay with me?” she asked.
“Of course I will.”
I helped her back into bed and covered her with the sheet. Walking back to my side, I sat on the edge of the bed with my feet planted on the ground while running my hand down my face.
“Grayson?” Ava’s voice spoke. “What’s wrong?” She reached over and rubbed my back.
I didn’t know what to say because now wasn’t the time to tell her that Luna was out and afraid.
“I had a leg cramp.” I laid down. “It’s better now.” I held out my arm, and she snuggled her body against mine.
CHAPTER30
Ava
Grayson and I rolled out of bed at six-thirty a.m., took a long shower together, and got ready for the day. As I was in the bathroom, applying my makeup, he walked in and set a cup of much-needed coffee down on the counter.
“You are a Godsend.” I smiled as I kissed his lips and then sipped my coffee.
“I am a God, aren’t I?” He grinned.
“Shut up.” I laughed as I playfully smacked his arm.
“How did you sleep last night?” he asked as he took down his shaving cream from the cabinet.
“Great. Aside from your leg cramp, how did you sleep?”
“Pretty good. There’s something I need to tell you.” He lathered his face.
“What is it?” I started applying my mascara.
“I woke up last night to Luna huddled in the corner crying.”
“What?” I stared at him through the mirror.
“She said she had a nightmare, and she was scared.”
I set down my mascara tube and gripped the edge of the counter. “I didn’t know she fronted. I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing for you to be sorry about.”
“Did she say what her nightmare was about?” I asked.
“No. I put her back in bed, and that’s when you woke up.”
“So, that’s why you were sitting on the edge of the bed? Did you or did you not have a leg cramp?”
“I didn’t. I just didn’t want to tell you last night.”
“Why? Because you didn’t know how to handle it?” I stormed out of the bathroom.
“Ava, get back here. That’s not true. It scared me to see you, I mean her, like that. I didn’t know what to do.” He followed me into the bedroom.
