Killian woke with a start at the sound of soft cries. He glanced around in the dark before the realization came to him. There were tears on Mila's cheeks even though she seemed fast asleep and his whole chest ached. Carefully, he wrapped an arm around her middle, pulled her closer, and kissed her tears away. "Mila, my beautiful fire, it's okay. I'm here."
The warm arm around her and slight tugging pulled her from the darkness and she flinched, backing away before realizing it was Killian. She collapsed against him, snuggling into his chest, fingers gripping the front of his shirt. “I had lost you. Everything was so cold and I had lost you.”
