The world seemed to calm down when I was in his arms. It appeared that it had come to a stop and it was just the two of us alone.
The serenity that I found in his arms was something I could not parallel with anything in the world. However, I did not feel entirely calmed.
My heart was still beating so quickly, and my chest, like I feared something bad was going to happen. It was an impending feeling that remained even after being reassured that everything was under control. I wanted to be wrong about this, quite desperately.
Calm was not easily found, and I hated that. Tristan was the only one whom I could trust explicitly when it came to my safety, but why did my heart refuse to calm down?
"My love," Tristan pulled me away from him, "I have to get back to see over the last of things. Anna is going to get you clean and clothed." He looked at me again. "I do not want you to catch a cold and you are shivering. Please, to a hot bath right away."
