Ellie looked up at him with an uneven breath as she struggled to keep her head upright. Her smile was incredibly soft and serene. "It's weird to be taken care of again."
"Don't worry about it Ellie," Henry put a blanket on top of her and began to tuck it into the side of the bed. He moved her arms and legs around until he thought that she looked comfortable. Henry was glad he had positioned her well when he had put her down. "I don't regret getting involved with you. I don't think I've had this much fun with someone in a very long time."
Henry turned to towel off the sweat from his exertions. He expected her to laugh or say something interesting, but the room was quiet. Henry turned.
He could see to his surprise that Ellie had fallen fully into sleep. He didn't mind it as she had endured such a trial in front of his eyes and did deserve a full rest. She had earned it in his eyes, but she was out of place. It was strange to have a woman like this in his bed.
