I didn't notice that I fell asleep while crying out of fear from my horrible dream. My eyes were swelling from excessive crying, and my body feels so weak that I could barely move. My eyes gradually open and to my surprise, Claire was still holding me ever so tightly. She must have fallen asleep while trying to comfort me last night.
Should I move, speak, or wake her up? I was looking at her angelic face while sleeping makes me feel calm and safe. If only I can stop the hands of time and savor this moment for as long as it takes, I'll do anything just to prolong this precious time.
Claire gently moves her head and must have noticed that I am already awake, so I gently lay down my head on top of her chest and pretend to be sleeping.
"Levi, are you awake?" she hoarsely said.
