Alyssa felt her heart start to race. The moment felt so intimate in a way, like he only saw her. She wished that was reality.
She wouldn't mind spending a day with only him with no one else around. The things they could speak into the universe were endless. They could be fearless.
"Are you feeling any better?" Elias asked her, breaking his gaze from hers.
Alyssa was a little sad at the loss of eye contact. She enjoyed looking into his eyes, connecting with him silently, but she liked talking to him too.
His voice was so smooth and lulling but not in a way that bored her.
"I am. Thanks to you," she said as they turned to start walking back the way they came. She felt less on edge and like she could think more clearly.
Her anger didn't cloud her head as much anymore, and he did remind her of the sun breaking through storm clouds.
