Day Twenty Three…
~~*****~~
Abigail was taken aback when Nathan embraced her. But his warmth brought comfort to Abigail. She slammed her eyes shut and leaned on his chest. Abigail tried to catch and steady her breathing.
Nathan could only watch her silently. He had complicated emotions on his face. He didn't have any intention of having close body contact with her. It's just that he was reminded of Abigail's words.
Since he didn't know how he would ease her discomfort, Nathan followed her words of wisdom– a hug is one way to comfort someone.' Nathan blindly and reflexively did it as he didn't know the right thing to do at that moment.
Abigail just maintained their current position. Nathan's scent somehow helped her relax because of this familiarity. She had the urge to sleep in his arms just to ease her dizziness.
'Sigh. What am I gonna do to her?' Nathan sighed helplessly.
