Tension
Ves sat beside the bed, watching Leo sleep soundly. She saw that even deep in his sleep, he was still feeling pain.
She saw his brow furrowed deeply, and his lips quivered faintly as though caught in a grimace. Every so often, his jaw tightened and his face twitched.
She looked at him with a soft gaze as she smiled warmly, and caressed his face, trying to ease his pain. Her hand trembled slightly in pain as her fingers made contact with Leo's face, but she didn't care.
"I promise to become stronger fast to protect you and made sure you never have to put yourself in danger again. Not for anyone, not for me or anyone. No more," she muttered to herself with a fire of determination burning in her eyes.
After the battle with the mutant Boar ended and Leo collapsed, she carried Leo up to their apartment on the eight floor and laid him on the bed.
