~{INGRID'S POV}~
*
The following morning….
"INGRID!"
I jerked wide awake and looked up to find the man from earlier staring down at me in disbelief.
My eyes were a bit hazy so I had to blink several times as I adjusted my position on the ground.
"Don't tell me you actually slept here?" He asked like he was hoping I'd say no.
When I tried to get up, he quickly offered his assistance and I didn't stop him.
When I stood on my feet, I gave a shy smile while subconsciously running my fingers through my hair to fix it because I knew it would be a mess.
As if getting his answer, he gasped and I could tell he was extremely baffled.
"You mean you slept right here. In front of this very gate and outside where danger is certain?" He asked again and this time I gave a small nod.
"Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed and looked around for any dangers before facing me again.
"Quick, get in. He will soon begin his daily stroll, you should meet him."
