When the nightmares fade, peace and sleep return.
Our 2nd Person's POV
The nights where his terrors plagued him in sleep are finally a thing of the past.
His face is now relaxed. I can see the contented, happy slumber that has replaced the thrashing of nightmares.
I reach out and place my hand gently over his heart to feel the steady thrum of a beat unaffected by fear.
My fingers skim over his stomach as I look up to see two bleary eyes gazing back at me with trust.
I can almost hear the thoughts swirling in his head and grin knowingly.
I know that he's as happy as I am.
