Gary wakes up to the sound of waves crashing against the ship. He is surprised by the warmth he feels on his chest. He looks down and finds Siv's arms wrapped around him. He smiles. He has not seen her since the red room, so he is relieved that she is alright. He lifts his right hand and caresses her hair, a moan escapes Siv's lips before she slowly opens her eyes.
"You're awake?" She exclaims.
"You're awake." He smiles.
"How do you feel?" Siv sits up immediately when realizing her inappropriate position.
"I have been better." Gary chuckles. "How about you?"
"I have been better, too." They both laugh. "I will call Colby to take a look at your wounds."
It has been a couple of days since Siv has woken up. She is gradually regaining her strength, but she has been spending most of her days by Gary's side. Colby follows her immediately when she tells him.
"Can you wait here, please?" He asks her at the captain's chamber door.
