Kapitel 201: Great moment

The room was quiet, the only sound the soft rustle of the blankets as we shifted slightly, and I felt a sense of calm settle over me.

After a while, Lise let out a contented sigh and leaned back against the pillows, pulling me down with her. I went willingly, resting my head on her shoulder as she wrapped an arm around me, holding me close.

The steady rhythm of her heartbeat beneath my ear was comforting, a reminder that no matter what happened, I wasn't alone.

For a while, we just lay there, the room bathed in the soft glow of the TV's screen. The world outside felt distant, unimportant, as if it couldn't touch us here in this little cocoon of warmth and comfort.

Lise pressed a gentle kiss to the top of my head, her breath warm against my hair. "You're going to do great, you know," she murmured, her voice full of quiet confidence.
