"Let's...uh, get ready for..the night." He managed, pulling away.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She just nodded, still in so much physical and emotional pain, as she tried to get up
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Gale put all his things away, wrapping her in his arms.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She winced, his shirt touching her wound.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
He was too tired to hear her wince, drifting off.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She fell asleep with tears rolling down her face
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Gale awoke to the sun rise
|
|  |
|
| |

|
|
| |

|
He got up, heading to go hunt.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
Kayla woke while he was gone, looking around. "Gale?" She called, panicking. "Gale!" She was shaking now, worried he'd left her.
