Chapter 11 X - Patrick

• She had just woken up and we were already arguing. How was that possible? I spent the night by her side, even though every part of my sanity told me to run from that room.
• Even after she opened her eyes in the middle of the night, I couldn't leave when she asked me to stay. It was clear when I climbed into bed that she wasn't cold, I felt her warm body snuggling against mine. But she was so vulnerable and fragile when she asked me to stay, I couldn't leave.
• Maybe it was a huge stupidity, but it didn't seem like it when she curled up next to me, snoring. But when I woke up, fear took over me.
