The next time I woke up, I had arms around me, holding me securely.
"Awake?"
"Yes."
I could hear the wind howling outside.
"The storm…it had already started?"
"Yeah." The arms held me tighter, and I was pulled even closer to his body, my head on his chest. I couldn't hear the storm outside; instead, there was only a strong heartbeat.
"We should go shower, get some food and then hurry to the safe room. The rest of the house is already secured."
"I can shower alone." I quickly interjected. I could perceive my surroundings sharper than before, and I had the feeling of soon being able to see fully. Albeit still unwilling, I knew that I would be of better help if I could see again. It was necessary to get better.
There was a pause, and I heard his heartbeat accelerating.
"Good, how is your eyesight?"
"Better every time I wake up, it gets better." I heard his heart skip a beat and raised my head in question. Hands cupped my cheek, and I was brought closer.
