"Are you asleep?" Nix asked, touching her hair gently.
Kitanna raised her face from his chest, looking at him. "No, I can't seem to find sleep. What about you?" she asked, reaching for her husband's face as she caressed it gently.
Nix hummed. "Me too," he exhaled softly.
Kitanna nodded; she knew that with everything going on, Nix would find it difficult to sleep. He had been waiting for the day he would get his hands on the man who killed his father, to pay back with blood. But it just looked like it wasn't worth it anymore.
"Nix, just know that any decision you make, I would stand by you," Kitanna muttered, reaching to hold Nix's hand.
