Chapter 70

• After finally putting Zuri to bed, though it felt like a battle considering how long she fought, I find myself in the dark, wide awake. I understand now why Zuri struggled so much. This place is new, unfamiliar. I miss our beds at King's place.
• The silence of the room feels oppressive without any of the guys here. Mason left soon after Zuri fell asleep, even though I almost asked him to stay. But he'd already made it clear he didn't want Gray getting the wrong idea.
