In Quinn's mansion, the night was colder and prickier on the skin. If not for the heat which came from the fireplace, one would freeze and turn to a piece of ice.
Damien who had his eyes closed suddenly snapped it open at the smell of salt. His eyes moved to find Penny who had her eyes closed but tears fell down from her eyes. His first thought was that she had woken up from her sleep and something had happened but listening to her heartbeat he realized she was still asleep and she was crying in her dream.
Bringing his hand to her face, he placed it on her cheek and she opened her eyes with tears that seeped into the pillow cover. She took a deep breath, like a person who was brought back to life.
He didn't ask or speak a word to her. He let her sink in back to reality, where she belonged to but what he didn't know was that Penny had only come to know the reality now where a veil had been placed in front of her eyes all this time.
