Wake her up

Ugh. What the hell is wrong with me?

You wouldn't want someone to watch you sleep, especially if they were just creeping on you! Shaking your head, you clear the thoughts from your mind and reach out towards her. She slowly wakes up and apologizes once she realizes where she is and what happened. You tell her that it's fine - you are glad that she was able to find some rest after the last couple of days. She gives a small smile but doesn't actually reply to you.

"Still," she says. "I appreciate it. Everything you've done so far has really made me feel...feel so much better about where I am. I can't explain it properly, but...Just know I'm thankful."

Delilah stands and falls into your arms, throwing her arms around you before she kisses you longingly on the lips. She draws herself closer and hugs you tighter. Instinctively, feeling a surge of emotions race through your mind, you hug her back, squeezing her more petite frame into your larger one. She's so soft and feels so fragile when she's like this. Were you this blind to her? You pull away and kiss her again. It's deep, passionate, and meaningful. Her teal eyes meet yours as the kiss breaks off.

"Alright, let's head back before it gets any colder. Thank you for coming with me."
