Chapter 30
Matt watched Corinne's face with the light of the moon. He could remember that first night at the hotel room when she had slept in the bed next to him, and watching the soft moonlight on her face had brought him such peace. If only he could do the same for her...
"Matt?" She whispered, he had been looking at her so intently but his mind lost elsewhere that he had not realized she had woken up.
"Hey sweetie, how're you feeling?" Matt asked walking over to the bed and kneeling by her.
"I don't know...I feel....numb I guess. I can't help feeling like if I had just let him rape me...then none of this..."
"No...don't think that Corinne. Because if anything had happened to you that night, I don't know what it would have done to me."
"Oh Matt," She said, realizing how much her words had affected him when he looked up and a tear ran down his cheek. She got out of bed and hugged him close to her.
"Corinne, can I hold you...I just need to feel you near me tonight." She nodded slowly and pulled him with her to the bed. They fell asleep that night holding each other tight.
