She'd only opened her eyes but I hugged her, I hugged her tight.
I was so worried- so, so, worried. But now- sigh. I could feel my heart speeding up, my blood rushing. Perhaps this was an exaggerated reaction, but I really loved her and that's why I was so afraid. And that's why I was so exhilarated seeing her, opening her eyes.
"What?" She stared, slightly confused. "What's wrong?"
"You don't remember?"
"The last thing I remember… oh yeah, how'd your run go?"
So, she didn't remember? And yet- she was actually worried about me instead.
"Sixth."
She smiled slightly. "We'll get 'em next time." Her sleepy voice was weirdly comforting.
"Right!" I hugged her tight, but I made sure it wasn't suffocating. "But I'm really glad you're okay."
I kind of had this irrational fear that she wouldn't open her eyes, that I'd lose her.
"What happened?"
"You got trapped in the ninth dimension."
