Denver Petal walked slowly towards the bed, and Olivia Williams suddenly sat up, quickly turning on the bedside lamp.
She wasn't asleep yet.
The light was dazzling, their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned.
Olivia was the first to speak: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
"I got things sorted out, so I came back." Denver snapped back to reality, his gaze landing on her, finding it hard to look away.
Denver smiled, stepping to the bedside.
Olivia pursed her lips: "It's late, you should go rest."
"Why haven't you been sleeping?" Denver asked thoughtfully as he looked at her.
"Just watched a video earlier."
"Really?"
"Yes." Olivia's tone became a bit stiff.
Unexpectedly, Denver leaned in and embraced her, sighed: "I've let you down during this time."
"No."
"Really no?"
Olivia said quietly: "A little bit."
"It won't happen again." Denver hugged her tighter, "Things are settled; thank you for giving me time. Watch my actions from now on."
