Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1802

Suddenly, Odie reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. It was as if this was the only way he could find even a bit of calm. The suddenness of it left Sophie momentarily stunned.

"What's up with you?" Sophie asked, a bit baffled. "Did you get out of bed on the wrong side this morning?"

Odie kept holding onto her, not letting go. "Seriously, what's going on? Do you need me to take you to the nurse?"

"Just don't talk," Odie murmured in a low voice. "Let me hold you for a little while."

Who wakes up and feels the need to hug a near-stranger like this, she wondered. Maybe sensing she was about to pass out, Odie suddenly let her go, looking a bit surprised at himself. Sophie instinctively stepped back, almost stumbling.

Odie was a bit shocked by his own behavior. He'd felt a sudden panic, worried he might be stuck in this dream forever. But when Sophie appeared, she seemed to be the anchor of this world for him. Holding her was the only time he felt grounded, felt real.
