I could hear the rapid beating of his heart and feel the heat of his breath against my neck. I wrapped my arms around his waist and sighed contentedly. This is where I belong.

"I understand" he said softly. "I saw her a while ago. She's asleep and the doctors said no one should go in. Not even her mother"

I sighed. "She went crazy"
