EMILIA

"Are they okay?" I asked, breaking the silence between us. It had been days since Emma set out to find Dace. I had no doubt she had found him, but the real question kept bugging me; Were they both alright?

"I hope so," Grayson replied softly, his fingers trailing light touches along my bare back. I drew circles on his chest in return.

"I love this," I whispered, a faint smile playing on my lips as I glanced at Grayson. "You here. It makes its easier."

Grayson's eyes met mine mirroring the emotions. "Yes, it does," he murmured as he reached for my hand.

With a sigh, I snuggled closer to him. Despite everything, having Grayson by my side made them more bearable. In this bubble we shared, the tension of the outside world was silenced.
