When Xiu's eyes opened in the middle of the night, she found herself in that exact same position as she had been in before closing her eyes. Her legs were tangled with Darren's, her head on his shoulder while her hand was right above his heart.
Xiu smiled at him seeing how even now his arm was around her back. With her finger, she brushed his hair away from his forehead and stared at his face for a long time.
