The Boorboards creaked a warning as the door swung shut I squeezed my eyelids shut tighter .
Are you asleep ! Torins voice cut through the silence , his footsteps approaching the bed .
I held my breath but could practically hear the pounding of my own heart and wondered if he could hear it too .

It was in that almost debilitating moment that common sense returned .

He grunted , and I pushed him away .

Youre such a wet blanket I grabbed a pillow and shoved it between us , creating a fluffy Great Wall of China .
If were going to share this bed , well keep our hands to ourselves , I declared , my voice firm .
He rolled his eyes , clearly unimpressed .
And please , turn off the lights when youre done .
Thank you .
I turned away from him to lie on my other side , my heart still looking for a way out of my ribcage .
The lights stay on he growled .
I turned to face him , incredulity plastered on my face .

The light .

He eyed me , then yanked the covers away , leaving me exposed to the cold air .
I tugged at the other end , but it felt like trying to move a mountain .
What is wrong with you ? I asked , exasperated , sitting up.
But he didnt answer me .
Fed up , I clapped my hands twice , and the room light went off , plunging us into darkness .
He jerked up and clapped his hands , making the lights come on again .
I shot him a death glare and clapped my hands , plunging us back into darkness .
This ridiculous game of clap on , clap off continued for a few rounds before he let out an exasperated sigh , grabbed a pillow , and climbed our of the bed : Suit yourself , he hissed , storming toward the door .
For a moment , I felt a pang of guilt .
Maybe 1 shouldnt have kneed him in the groin or forced him out of his own room .
But then again , I had to protect my dignity , right ? I spread myself out on the bed , pretending to relish all the newfound space .
But now the bed felt like a king sized ice rink and deep down .
I felt alone , and the bed was empty .
