JUDE
I don't need to open my eyes to know who is holding me.
My heart aches, and I let myself breathe in his scent, pretend to be asleep for a little longer, because if I open my eyes, then this will all be over.
I feel so much better, my limbs are still sore, but I don't feel light-headed or weak anymore. The headache is gone, too, but I am so hungry that I believe this is what has woken me up to begin with. Miko stretches, his hand tightening on me, and I bite my lip, slowly opening my eyes.
His face is so close to it, and he is fast asleep.
It's dark, which must mean it's either dark or the light-blocking curtains are pulled.
