Marley snuggled back to her original place, secretly smiling at his now shallow breathing, the stumble in his walk, and the way his arms tightened around her. "Just calm down Aiden," she murmured, "I'm going to be perfectly okay after a warm shower."

"Y-yeah," he replied, clearing his throat loudly, "Right. I'm glad you weren't more hurt."
