"What are you doing here?" she asked as she smiled, touching his face gently, before she embraced him.
The ice that started to envelop Alex's body started to melt. His cold and empty mind began to work as the icy numbness in his heart started fading away. It was like his lifeline had been re-activated and he became alive again.
He hugged her back, as tight as he could but suddenly, he pulled away, looking at her worriedly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, holding her face with all the gentleness in the world.
Abi smiled. "I'm fine."
His brows creased and then he lifted her up. He carried her back to the bed and slowly settled her there.
"It's still midnight. You're supposed to be sleeping," he told her as he tucked her in the bed. She noticed his hair was still damp. Did he just take a shower in the middle of the night?
