~Alistair's POV~
Before Alex could even speak, a voice called out from the hallway.
"Alexander? Please come out for a moment."
It was her.
My heart started racing, a cold knot forming in my stomach.
What is she going to tell him?
Alex frowned slightly.
"I'll be back," he said, brushing his fingers gently over my hair before sliding off the bed.
I caught his wrist before he could move too far.
"Alex…"
He turned back to me. "Hmm?"
I hesitated for a second, then forced a small smile.
"It's nothing," I said softly. "Just… don't take too long."
He studied my face for a moment, like he could tell something was off, but he didn't push.
"Okay, babe," he said.
He walked to the door and opened it.
I watched as he stepped out into the hallway.
The door closed behind him.
The room suddenly felt too quiet.
I sat up slowly, my fingers tightening against the sheets.
My mind wouldn't stop racing.
What is she going to say to him?
I let out a slow breath, trying to steady myself.
