Vince stirred, his arms instinctively tightening around Zaritans small frame nestled against his chest.
Tlis eyes, dark and half-lidded, flicked to the door.
"What is it?" Vince's voice was uritation at being disturbed.
low, laced with Sir, the muffled voice of a guard came through the door.

His grip tightens around her and her neck to inhale deeply.

Lifting his finger, he brushed it over her hair, lingering for a moment.

---- Tried for you but you never came.
That thing...
it made me feel weird.
I was so scared but there was no one.
Her knuckles turn white, her red eyes turn glassy and before Vince could realise what he was doing, he wraps his arms around her and pulls her to his chest.
Damn you little one.
I am so sorry.
It will never happen again.
I promise.
She hugs him back and a satisfied groan erupts in his chest.
They stay like that for minutes, when finally Vince pulls back and those red eyes look up at him innocently.

She grips the hem of his shirt and he sighs.
He makes her lay back in the bed and covers her up with a comforter.
No arguing.
Now sleep.
