Karlia reveled in the warmth of Lewis's body next to hers, their limbs entangled as they lay in the vast darkness.
It was a sensation she'd longed for, dreamt of, and despaired of ever feeling again. The soothing rhythm of his heartbeat against her ear reminded her of a melody she had once feared was lost forever.
She nestled her head onto his chest, her soft voice carrying the weight of a thousand emotions. "I've missed you. All of you."
Lewis's fingers combed through her hair, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine. "I've missed you too, Karlia. More than words can express."
She shifted slightly to gaze up at him, her eyes searching his familiar features. "How... How do you look like your past self again? The last I knew, you were... Jared."
