Bryce's POV
Approaching my bedroom, I saw the door slightly ajar. Walking in, I found Amera sleeping soundly on my bed. I stood by her bedside and watched her for a few minutes before going to my closet. I removed my clothes, went into the bathroom, and washed off the stress I'd accumulated at the office. When I returned to the room to get dressed, I noticed she was awake.
I paused, stopping in the middle of the room as she opened her eyes and looked around until her gaze met mine. Her eyes went wide, and she sat up.
"B-Bryce," she said, clearly surprised to see me.
"Yes," I replied, heading into my closet to get dressed. When I returned, she was sitting upright.
"Where is Cooper?"
"He left. Have you washed up?"
"Uh, no. I didn't realize when I fell asleep," she replied. She got out of bed and moved to leave the room, but I stopped her.
"Where are you going? You can use the bathroom here; it's clean," I said.
"Oh…" She looked nervous.
