She froze mid-reach, eyes wide, heart hammering.
"What was that?" he hissed through clenched teeth. "Why...why did the pain get worse?"
He looked genuinely confused… and angry… and terrified all at the same time.
Before she could ask anything, before she could touch him again, he grabbed her.

And instantly, instantly, his breathing eased.
The pain on his face subsided
His muscles relaxed a little bit more.
Like her presence was a drug.
He didn't even try to hide the shock in his eyes.
How on earth did that happened? How did she ease up him pain? Now he understands, where and how got all the strength he had been wasting all this while.
