The night was quiet and it was late, but Daphne couldn't sleep. Anxiety was gnawing at her. Her head rested on Gale's chest, turned just so to make sure she didn't poke him with her horns. His arm was wrapped around her and she listened to his steady breaths.
She had thought he was asleep, until she felt his hand move to stroke his fingers along her upper arm soothingly. "You can't sleep either?" She kept her voice low, not wanting to wake anyone else. "I hope I didn't wake you up."
