Breathing heavily yet covered in a cold sweat, Sylvia managed to stammer, "My, my hand..."

Rupert, who had suddenly stopped, was panting heavily. It took a few throbbing pulses in his neck before he managed to prop himself up and lift her hand.

Rupert paused for a moment but didn't get irked. Instead, he lay down next to the "burrito", reaching out to wrap both the person and the comforter tightly in his arms.
