Daniel woke up to the stirring by his side, it has been a while since he slept this peacefully even though it was mere hours and it was thanks to Angelica. However, the woman in question was hurriedly getting dressed, as if to leave his side.
He grabbed her by the wrist and she turned to him startled, "Where are you going?"
"I just broke a promise to my daughter. I need to go, Daniel." She said, trying to pull out of his grip having dressed up. The only thing missing was her shoes.
Daniel's gaze traveled to the clock, "It's two. You should stay till the morning, it's not safe out there."
But she stubbornly said, "Haz brought me here, he should send me back in one piece."
Angelica was already reaching for her shoes when Daniel tugged her with enough force that she landed ungracefully on the bed and he gathered her into his arms, giving her no room to escape.
"Daniel…" She squirmed in his arms all to no avail.
