When Julian opened his eyes and saw her tired face, he couldn't help but feel a tug in his heart.
She was still frowning and was even whimpering in her sleep.
"Just how much did I scare you to reduce you in this state?" he whispered.
He leaned over and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. His heart broke to pieces last night when he saw her condition. He could not even think about what he had just experienced.
Or the fact that he had come face to face with a demon and to death.
All his focus was on her that he wished he had the strength to carry her last night. To make her feel secure that everything was alright.
He took a deep breath before pulling back and touching the space beneath her eyes.
He also felt it while they were dealing with the beasts before the appearance of the demon. Her emotions were heightened.
