Bedazzled No More

Lillith was indeed asleep after another long night of laying awake with worry over Roman. He’d sequestered himself and refused her company and beyond the anxiety over the potential of losing him her heart hurt. Distance truly made the heart grow fonder and Lil’s heart ached for her boy to get better. Somehow she made it to sleep, but that didn’t mean it was an easy rest. As Roman made his way into the room Lillith felt herself startled awake at the sound of the door latch.

Garnet gaze widened at the sight of someone approaching her bed, but all of her worries were soothed when Roman’s voice washed over her. He was dark. There was no more sickening glow, and the relief in his voice was as obvious as her own. He’d made it through, she wasn’t going to lose him. "Roman,” she breathed his name with relief as she threw herself over the side of the bed to wrap her arms around his neck and hold him in her embrace.

Then tears began to fall from ruby eyes with relief and joy and the emotions overwhelmed her as she wept into his silver slate fur. "You’re okay.”
