Description
As suddenly as if she’d been slapped in the face, Leta’s eyes snapped open. For a moment she didn’t know where she was or, even more concerning, whose warm body she was curled up against. It wasn’t Ren, and the ground beneath her was cold -- this wasn’t home.

Blinking her eyes, she gingerly rolled over to her back onto the dirt and and the cracked concrete ceiling swam into view. The previous night came flooding back like a nightmare: they were still locked in the cell. They must have dozed off after Fiearius’ story, she thought, surprised she’d fallen asleep at all with the throbbing in her leg and the worry sitting in her stomach like a heavy weight.

Carefully, Leta slid her hand from where it was tucked beneath Fiearius’ side, feeling embarrassed and then relieved that he wasn’t awake to witness how she’d slept on him. It wasn’t her fault he was warm and the cell was freezing -- she must have shifted over in her sleep. Her eyes lingered curiously on his sleeping form for a moment, watching the slow lift and fall of his shoulders, before she pushed herself away another safe few inches.

Nothing like waking up to a guy you barely know with a massive infected open wound on your leg. Leta's havin' a great week.
