Her Loss [1]

***

Katherine's eyes sprung open lightly as the cold air of the room numbed her cheeks.

Yawn!

Doing a light yawn, she sat up straight, stretching her arms to shake off the numbness and the lingering hold of the sleep over her.

Carefully, she took the blanket off of her and stood up, before setting it back, keeping in mind to not make any noise.

All because of a little girl who slept beside her, cutely cuddled up within the sheets as her small hands tightly clutched the edges of the blanket.

An attempt to shake off the cold.

A light sympathetic smile spread on her face as she saw the puffed up face of the little girl.

Leaning closer, she lightly swept the small strands in front of her face to the side, allowing her to breathe easy.

Once done, she did a few light stretches before heading over to the window.
