She reached up to his hand that cupped the side of her neck, and held it there, the bandage rough and not helping the continued throbbing - she'd fucked it up some when she'd hit Wendy. She closed her eyes as he pressed a kiss to her hair. She shook her head as he said that he lost her. "This- what you did, it's nothing. It's nothing, baby. It's- You're a good man. You're a good man." The tears-- she wasn't a crier, but it had been too much today, she didn't know what was happening to her.

She pulled in a breath, and nodded when he said she must be tired. "I've slept like... ten hours in the past week," she said with a soft, breathless laugh. "I- I'm terrified that if I go to bed, you'll be him when I wake up." She whispered the words, holding his hand that cupped her neck tighter. "Promise? Promise-" She took his hand finally, and pressed a kiss to his fingers, her eyes flicking up to his. "We need to talk. Tomorrow, if- if this is real, we need- god." Her eyes ran over his face, her hand finding his cheek. Her thumb smoothed over his cheekbone as she shook her head. "Okay?"
