PRAYERS

Noticing the faint movement beside him and that quick stolen kiss, Stefan's eyes fluttered open and found his wife hugging him tight. It was like she was seeking comfort from him but because he was asleep, she could only hug him.

"What's the matter?" Stefan asked with his groggy voice while kissing the top of her head. "You can tell me anything that bothers you."

"I'm not really bothered by it but you might be." Cayenne drew circles on his back with her fingers while recounting the message that she got from Cole. When she's done talking, Stefan inhaled deeply and exhaled abruptly to relax himself. Just by listening to her, he couldn't stop himself from being angry.

"He's really insane." He muttered as he caressed his wife's head. "We need to be extra careful now. Since his plans were busted, he might take some drastic measure just to get you away from me. Also, we need to thank that person who tells the police about this."
