Claire’s POV
When I returned to my room, I was surprised to see Leo sneaking out of it and into the hallway.
“Leo?” I asked calling for him. He should have been in bed, asleep. “Are you still having trouble sleeping? Were you looking for me?”
“Uh, no… I was just… That is…”
I waited while he fumbled, unsure what had caused him to be this nervous.
“I wanted to tell you something, but I forgot,” he said. “I’m going to go back to bed now.”
“Oh… Alright…” I said confused.
He looked at me, up at my face. Seeing me without my mask must have been something of a shock for him. Maybe that was why he was on edge.
“Should I put my mask back on?” I asked him. I wanted him to be comfortable.
“No… it’s okay… uh, excuse me.” He walked around me then and scurried to his room like he couldn’t wait
