Without the presence of another human to ground her, her mind whirled into feverous spirals of fear and doubt. Her chest too tight for her to even let out a sob. She prayed for sleep to claim her, and yet it refused to come as she clutched the blankets tightly to her chest.

[ She said in a small wavering voice, her throat so tight that it felt like she was being strangled. He still wasn't as familiar to her as she wished. They still had only met a few times, but she needed his comfort again, perhaps it would be what she needed in the face of this suffocating fear.]
