By Monday morning, I had surprised myself by how energized and refreshed I felt . It was more so surprising because I had not been able to get any sleep for hours . Hours which I had spent tossing and turning . The restlessness had not been an easy thing to shake off and , even now , I was not completely over it . It was a shocker that my body was reacting this way to Ryder . Ryder ! The man I used to despise with every fibre of my being had not become the man that I wanted to show me his capable , wicked ways on every surface this house offered . I groaned , rubbing my eyes until I saw stars in the darkness . this was just great . Just when I thought that Ryder and I were getting along , that we were amiable , that we were getting along and there would be no real conflict any time soon
