Cassiopeia’s eyes remained on Nic while he cleaned up her face. She held onto his hand earnestly, not looking away from him. [color=#DB7093]”I do feel safe with you,”[/color] she told him. It surprised her as much as comforted her how true those words were and how much she loved them. 

Cass didn’t feel like she had to be the strong one around Nic. She could crumble and fall apart if she needed to. Which made it difficult to keep everything together when she needed to, like earlier.

She broke eye contact with Nic to stare at their pinkies intertwined. It was a juvenile way to make a promise, but it made Cass smile. And he called her adorable. She bit her bottom lip, debating on denying him this simple request.

Caden chuckled to himself as he watched the diverse reactions from the knowledge that Avery was awake. Caden could feel Avery getting closer, so he was certain Kiki could sense the same. He patted her hand at one point because she seemed about ready to bolt. Eventually though, Caden heard the familiar footfalls of Avery walking down the hallway. However, they sounded more sluggish and hesitant than usual.

It seemed like the closer Avery got, the more nervous he became, which exacerbated his symptoms. At one point, he had walked into Caden’s house, but turned around and quickly walked back out when a wave of nausea hit. After taking a few more minutes outside and finding water from the cooler, he made his way back in and headed down the hallway.

He paused for a minute before he walked into Caden’s study. The three of them were sitting there, Caden gave him a brief smile, his eyes roaming over Avery’s face before looking away. Nero couldn’t seem to sit still, and then there was Kimiko. Avery found that as soon as he saw her, he couldn’t look away from her.
