The doctor had come and gone before Lena began to wake up. Even though she only took one of the sleeping pills, it still had a heavy effect.
The blanket was so warm that she didn't want to get out from under it at first. Being aware that they were still in the hospital made her want to move even less.
Waking up and facing such a rough reality didn't ever become easier despite it not being the first in this kind of position.
She barely shifted her position before a gentle hand came to rest atop her head. It stilled for a moment before brushing the hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear.
There'd only been one person in the past who did something so gentle for her.
Lena's eyes snapped open before the sudden wave of sadness could fully crash over her. She shifted her position but didn't fully jerk away from the touch.
