Shatter Me- Chapter Four- Kind Of Adorable

This chapter begins with Juliette being very unconvincing. 

She writes "I am not insane" more times than I care to count right now, but it takes up about 3/4 of the page.
She's only trying to convince herself, of course, but still. At this point I think even the worst narcissist would begin to question themselves.

She then wakes up, meaning the words were a dream...I guess, or something she wrote before. I don't know.
Anyway, Adam is staring at her. 
They kind of wave off the fact that she just woke up screaming.

He asks if she's okay. When she doesn't answer, he apparently reads her thoughts. This happens a lot in this series, I think, characters being able to tell exactly what to say to each other. It's kind of lazy, really.

"'You're not insane.'
My eyes snap up. His head is cocked, his eyed focused and clear despite the shroud that envelops us. He takes a deep breath. 'I thought everyone in here was insane,' he continues.
'I thought they'd locked me up with a psycho.'
I take a sharp hit of oxygen. 'Funny. So did I.'"

He smiles at her, something she's not used to, and she offers his blanket to him. He refuses and asks if he can sit next to her. 

I might not have mentioned this, but Juliette is constantly scratching out words. When he asks, she first writes "That would be wonderful." She refuses, though, and he returns to his bed.

They have some wonderfully awkward conversation about him being feverish and sleeping without his clothes on. He asks again for her name, and she finally tells him. 

She's still all lonely and fawning over him without remembering that she used to be in love with him, and we end this chapter with some internal fireworks over him repeating her name.

"In 17 years no one has said my name like that." 

My inner hopeless romantic and the rational part of me are gathering their weapons.

Next chapters of this and The Night Circus should be out before midnight today.
