Kayla woke the next morning, her body aching but manageable. She sat up, stifling a wince |
|  |
|
| |
|
"Morning," Gale greeted quietly, eyes droopy. |
|  |
|
| |
|
"Morning. You should rest. And thanks...for taking care of me last night" |
| |
|
| |
|
"Can you move alright?" He asks, taking up her offer. |
| |
|
| |
|
Kayla nodded, a lie, "I'm fine. Rest" |
| |
|
| |
|
Gale nodded, resting up against a tree before drifting off. |
| |
|
| |
|
Kayla stayed beside him, tipping her head against the tree and silently crying. She had so much pent-up depression creeping onto her the past few days |
| |
|
| |
|
Gale slept for only a few hours, his sleep mainly nightmares before awaking to his mind unraveling. |
| |
|
| |
|
"Hey, you okay?" She said, looking at his expression |
| |
|
| |
|
"I'm fine." He said roughly, voice riddled with sleep. |
| |
|
Clear and Calm
