Dylan's face changed, and his stiffened heart finally softened. He turned and picked her up and put her on the bed. He clenched his fist and whispered, "This woman, getting into my nerve,"
As if exhausted, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Savannah awoke to find herself cradled in his warm arms. She opened her eyes wide, stunned for a moment, and then she remembered what she did last night.
Dylan was lying next to her, holding her all night long.
He was so tired last night that he didn't wake up now. His eyes closed, and the hard-line of his face was much softer.
Savannah breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that her behavior last night had softened his heart at last.
The first step worked.
She gently released herself from his arms but accidentally knocked him awake.
Dylan didn't open his eyes. He locked her tightly in his arms and murmured huskily, "where do you want to go?"
