Fine Again

She felt like life was perfect just like this. She couldn't imagine being any happier. As much as she seemed a little more quiet and serious, at heart this was everything she wanted. Arc treated her so well, never expected anything of her. All of her anxieties were self nourished and maybe a little delusional. And it all seemed to melt away when she was wrapped up in him when the nights came.

Her cheek brushed against the inside of his arm, she was subtle and ready for sleep really. It took a few moments of silence to surround her, but soon she was shifting to turn into him. Eyes still closed for a fast moment like she was just getting comfortable, but her light eyes opened gently to look up at him. She did like to be close with him, to cuddle and be cuddled. That sense of security around her was all she needed. She was less when it came farther than that. It's where she held herself back. A part of her that wanted to give him everything, and another that was scared to keep going. She didn't know if he was still awake, so maybe she was only speaking to herself. Not something he didn't know, but maybe not something she said very often. "I love you, Arc." In a faint whisper but meant all throughout. She didn't know where she would be without him today. With someone else, or still alone. She also couldn't believe that it could get much better than this.
