It felt strange to hear himself chuckle after a day of crisis. But what good would it do to stick to gloom and glare all the time?

Or every closeness. Her lips touching him reminded him how much he loved it to be near her, even if it was just the smallest gesture of affection. They belonged together, they cared for each other... That wouldn't just go away, no matter what happened. He let just his thumb circle softly over her thigh and closed his eyes to let that growing exhaustion settle in his body. He actually felt like he could sleep at least for a few hours right now.
