Theo suddenly pulled Iris out of her sad thoughts by calling her name loudly, and she looked incredulously at Theo in bed, as if she had been hallucinating.
"Theo?" Iris tentatively leaned closer and whispered Theo's name.
Theo's eyes were moving rapidly, and suddenly, they flew open as he gasped for air.
Seeing this, Iris was flooded with emotions, her voice was a little low as she asked, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Hearing her voice, Theo's hollow eyes fixed on Iris' face slowly. His eyes fixed on Iris' face from the beginning, and his pupils trembled as if he couldn't believe his own eyes.
"I must still be dreaming," Theo said bitterly, slowly closing his eyes and sighing.
"It's really me, Theo." Iris took a step forward, and Theo opened his eyes again, a little expectant, and confirmed with her, "Is it really you?"
"It is me, Iris." Iris nodded, confirming Theo's point of view.
