A sudden knock caused Avery to jump in her seat and immediately grabbed both of Alex's arms and pulled her close to his chest. One of her hands grabbed his shirt and with the other, she immediately pulled the blanket. Her body hurt during all that process but her action off reflex was so fast that she didn't even think about it.
Her action was so fast that she didn't even give Alex time to think. "Just relax little one, I'll see who it is." He said kissing her head and placing her comfortably on the bed. He took the blanket from her hand and put it on her body.
