Zeke looked down at the beautiful, fragile face of the girl asleep on his chest. She hadn’t let go of him all night, but that was okay because he hadn’t let go of her either.

He didn’t know how she had done it or if she had done it at all. He and Shadow had been so close to breaking. The darkness had started to invade even with Shadow’s stubbornness.

There was a soft knock. His friends had waited long enough. The sun had long since risen, but he couldn’t bring himself to let her go.
