“Whoa…” Felix mutters, almost tripping over the stack of open books I’ve piled near the doorway…and near the table…and near the sofa…and pretty much anywhere there was an open space.

I glance up from my place cross-legged on the living room floor. “Sorry.”

“It’s a maze of pages in here,” he says, tip-toeing through the books to make his way towards me.

“I can’t think of another way of finding out who this bad guy is,” I reply, the words followed by a heavy sigh and my shoulders sagging. “We don’t even know who his target is.”

Felix manages to find his way through the mountains of leather-backed books to fall into a sitting position beside me. 

His hand moves to cup my cheek.

My eyes wearily lift from the sepia pages to meet his much more enticing gaze.

“You’ll find it,” he says, then gives a bright smile. “We’ll find it.”

I groan. “No, this is my mess. I let him loose.”

“Your mess is my mess,” Felix replies with a grin. “You know that.” His hand slides from my cheek to my neck, his fingers tracing the contours of it until his hand rests on my arm. 

I let out a soft breath, half from exhaustion and half from enjoying the lingering touch.

“You look like you’re about to drop off right here,” he says.

I chuckle. “I am.”

He scoots closer, tucking me beneath his arm as much as possible. I instantly flop my head onto his chest.

The gentle rhythm of his heart beats against my ear, soothing me the instant I hear it. 

“I promise I won’t tell the bad guy you took a nap,” he jokes, running his hand over my hair. 

“Thanks…” I mumble, but the safety of his arms lulls me into a deep sleep before I get the chance to say more. I don’t even get a chance to see the way Felix gazes at me, a soft frown on his brow, capturing this moment to his memory as though afraid to lose it.
