The bedroom had become so quiet after Phei left.
Sienna remained where he had tucked her beneath the covers, sitting against the pillows with her dark hair spilling over one shoulder and the lingering warmth of his last kiss still resting against her forehead. Somewhere else within their present residence, Phei had disappeared into whatever business had pulled him away, while the others occupied their own rooms.
The silence here felt unusually complete, enough that every small sound carried farther than it should have.
Her violet eyes had been returning to the closed door once and again before Sienna had eventually noticed what she was doing and frowned faintly.
"Annoying."
The insult possessed very little conviction.
