it was hard.

for the first two hours, she studied her living room with wide eyes, her ear pressed against x's chest.

slow, calm breathing.

her mind ordered her body to march right upstairs and it tried and tried to listen.

but willow bit down on her bottom lip and held onto xavier as tightly as she could, shutting her eyes as her body shook.

tying to ignore the yelling that wouldn't seem to stop in her head, she took in x's scent and noticed how much bigger he was than she and found the strength to smile when he wrapped an arm around her, his face buried in her neck.

she waited.

the yelling faded away.

and it wasn't long before she finally accepted sleep.
