Even if she had been eager to read her book, she had no intention of leaving the bed to do it. She hadn't made sure to get there before him so she could stake her claim and then just abandon it. Supposing he didn't refuse her sleeping accommodation on returning, he'd probably hog two thirds of the bed anyway.
"If anyone's going anywhere, it's not going to be me." Of that she was adamant, but she did wonder if she'd revise her stance once he started encroaching on her bed space. Maybe it would be better if it was dark when he got in the bed, it would be easier to convince herself no one was there provided he kept to himself and didn't move. "You'll have to see to the light yourself if you want it out." That was the closest she intended to conceding anything to him tonight. Except for maybe a few inches of the bed, she doubted he'd acquiesce to a night on the edge of the mattress.
