Katherine heard the opening of the door to her bedroom, the very light ninja-like footsteps, and the shuffling of the sheets. Her senses heightened but she kept her eyes closed and waited, knowing that whoever it was would approach her bed and she already knew what she had to do to defend herself. She remained still until the space next to her sunk and that's when Damien's familiar scent wafted into her nose.
She was alert for possible danger but only a couple of seconds passed when she realized that there was no danger at all. So she didn't open her eyes and kept them closed as she waited for Damien to settle next to her and pull her to him like he always did. Then she felt his lips on her forehead which instantly warmed her heart. She shifted in place to find a comfortable position and murmured what she thought was understandable, "I'm glad you came."
