Elias quietly watched as she slept. Curled like a cat, she slept with her hands tightly gripping his. He sat by the edge of her bed, one leg crossed over the other as he observed her. He noticed strange habits of hers, like her occasionally twitching nose, the wrinkling of her brows, and how she scooted closer to him.
