Jude woke buried beneath the blankets with Cardan asleep in the hollow of her curled body.
She watched him for a long moment, the rise and fall of his sides as he breathed, and wondered what on earth she was doing. In wake of her nightmare, the biggest concern her confused, sleep-addled mind had come up with was that Cat Cardan had been around while she was changing (which, while mildly mortifying, she could get over).
But she had fallen asleep before actually processing the gravity of the discovery, and now… Well, now Jude had time to think.
Once he was back in his faerie body, what would happen? What would he do? say? He knew so much of her, her family, the way she thought and lived and felt—
All she could do was hope he wouldn’t use any of it against her if they managed to turn him back.
