The lights keep changing.
Darker to brighter. Blue to pink. Close to far.
“This way, Shorty.”
My feet shuffle forward. And my hand squeezes around a set of fingers.
Dom’s fingers.
Because we’re together.
“Let’s go in here.” His voice is so far above me.
I follow.
I’m tired, sleepy, but I still feel good.
And I don’t want to leave him.
Until our paths part.
“I don’t want our paths to part.” I think I say it out loud.
The hand in mine squeezes me back.
“I’m not leaving you,” Dominic reassures me.
I glance up, wanting to see where we’re going, but I can’t read the name. I see the lettert.
“Step up for me, Valentine.”
I step up. And the lights are brighter.
I have to squint.
Dominic lets go of my hand, and I let out a little whine, missing the contact.
I hear someone chuckle. But it isn’t Dom, because his hand is now around my shoulder, pulling me into his side, and he feels solid. Still. Not vibrating.
My eyes slide shut all the way as I lean into him.
Lean in.
I think that phrase over and over.
Lean into the warmth.
A shiver runs down my arm.
“Stand still, Shorty,” Dom whispers, then his body moves away.
My mouth opens, wanting him to come back. But then I’m being wrapped in warm silk.
I sigh into the feeling.
Someone is talking.
But I can’t pry my eyes open.
