JAI.

I can feel someone running their fingers through my hair, and it feels pleasant and soothing. I know exactly who it is and I’m enjoying it.

She sighs softly, sounding troubled, but her hand doesn’t stop combing through my hair.

Mmm, how did I get lucky to have such a treat from her?

“You’re awake,” she says quietly.

She cocks a brow. “Really? Is that all you can think of?”
