Chapter 45: Late Nights

Ava's Point of View

The heaviness weighed on my head as peace and security tried to fight the uneasiness storming inside me.

It felt scary like I was going to die, but at the same time reassuring, because somehow something in me made me feel that I am saved...

I don't know why nor how... I don't know that thing, but it gives me the feeling I never intended to have before. The hope, the urge to live for another reason.

And that... scares me.

Tsk! My half-asleep mind just can't give it a rest, can it?

With closed eyes, I sighed a breath of relief, slowly letting the weight of my head completely fall on the soft pillow kissing my cheeks.
