"Two days!" Nora was stunned. She pulled herself away from Alric to meet his bloodshot eyes. His hair was messy and his clothes had hard water stains.
She remembered he had worn this suit two days ago. Did it mean he was sitting here for two days waiting for her to wake up without even changing his clothes and taking a bath!
For some reason, Nora wrinkled her nose before feeling touched.
"Eww! Did you even not take a bath!?" looking at her ugly face, Alric blinked and then laughed.
He looked helpless by her complaints. But for some reason, his chest felt much lighter. No other words would have made him feel less emotional.
"I could not leave you alone, you ingrate!" he flicked her forehead with an animated frown. "I was afraid that you would feel alone if you woke up suddenly," he sighed. As if he was taking a long breath after a long time. The air felt oddly comforting in his lungs.
