This chapter is the one where the song 'Everything'll be alright' really works x
Sorry it's short – this will probably be the last one ; )
Later that night I'm lying on my chest, chin resting on my interlaced hands as I gaze at Annie sleeping in the bed next to me. Her eyelashes form dark half-moons on the contours of her cheeks, and her shell-pink lips are slightly parted as her chest rises and falls in conjunction with her gentle breathing. "No nightmares tonight, then," I whisper to her quiet form. Lifting one of my hands, I smooth a stray strand of hair off her face with my thumb. That done, I let my fingers trace soft circles on her cheek as, silently, I gaze at her face. Her eyelids flutter a little and her breath hitches at my touch, but aside from that she doesn't stir. Comforted by her presence, and more for my benefit than hers, I whisper to myself "Everything'll be alright."
