Chapter 185

~~Jade~~

In my dream, I’m floating somewhere soft and far away. And then—bang—the calm shatters, replaced by a loud, insistent pounding. Someone is knocking on a door, and it sounds like they’re one bang away from kicking it down. I bury my face deeper into my pillow, hoping the noise will stop. But it doesn’t.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Groaning, I open my eyes and squint at the clock on my nightstand.
