I had to take a bath and change before Dace agreed to stay with me, not that I minded I really wanted him close by so I would do anything. Whenever I'm around him, although like a wake to all my hidden desires it wasn't just about that, whenever I was with him it always seemed like I wasn't dreaming anymore, reality finally coming to dawn and he was that anchor, pulling me back to be awake no matter what.
It was a feeling that set my body alive more than I have ever been, by having the feel of your skin searing to snap you back to validity.
