((Sorry for blah, and I am gone for another week...))
Halt was surprised at how quickly Adriana wrapped her arm around him and placed her cheek on his shoulder... he figured she would only return with gripping his hand... not that he didn't mind. His head became dizzy as he took a breath of her at such a close proximity.
He slid his right arm under her neck and wrapped around her back, with his hand on her waist. He didn't say anything, but he held her close to him. His left hand resting on her arm that was draped over his stomach, and his cheek, rested against her forehead.
Halt still said nothing, but his mind began to grow dull as he slowly slipped into a true peaceful sleep...one that had eluded his grasp for many years.
