Thunder and lightning boomed throughout the land of Whoville on that stormy night. The Grinch had decided to spend the night down in Greater Whoville after one of their movie nights. It was too far of a walk and too dangerous outside to go back to his mountain tonight.
All of the lights were shut off on the inside of her house, the only form of light coming from flash of lightning illuminating through her windows.
Grinch was already asleep and snoring laid out on her sofa. Martha, however, was wide awake.
She hates thunderstorms: the poring rain, the sharp lightning, and the loud thunder that followed after. She much more preferred the calmer nights...where she could actually get some sleep!
Martha pulled the duvet closer towards her as she sat on her couch, flinching as yet another strike of lightning came down with the crash of thunder quickly after. She looks over at her snoring boyfriend with a tinge of envy. She'll never understand how he's able to sleep so soundly in all this ruckus!
"Grinch?" She whispered as she lightly tapped his shoulder. And sure enough, he was out cold.
Great! Now what is she going to d-
CRACK-BOOM!
Martha yelps from that bomb-like sound of thunder that made the walls in her house shake. Grinch stirs, but instantly goes back to snoring, leaving his frightened girlfriend to herself.
She scooched herself closer towards him and laid down, her head pressed up against his chest of thick, green fur. Although she was frightened, Martha suddenly began to feel a sense of calm wash over her as she cuddled next to him. His body heat warming her and making her sleepy.
The sounds of the thunder and the flashing of the lightning soon became a lost thought of hers as her eyes got heavier by the second, finally closing for sleep, snuggled in the warmth of her love.
He makes her feel comforted...and that's what she loves about him.
