All she knows now is that his touch and closeness is helping to ground her wildly whirling thoughts, silencing the doubts and fears clawing at her if even for a moment. Her eyes close and she tips her head a fraction, enough to gently press her face into his. Something tugs low in her belly, and she just needs to feel warm again, alive— they both do. ]
