There is a knock on the door and then it opens.
Silas walks in taking his sunglasses off and a laptop in his hand. It looks small compared to how big his hand is. I immediately avert my eyes up to his face before my imagination decides to wander.
I place the folders in my hand down on my desk. "Good morning."
"Good morning, doctor." He gives me a bright smile that makes my morning better.
I watch him stand in front of me with his laptop now placed on my desk. He opens up his arms indicating that he wants me to hug him. I don't move as I only stare at him.
"Come on. Bring it in." His smile is almost contagious.
I hesitate, holding back a smile of my own. I roll my eyes before I walk into his arms because as much as I hate to admit, I think I really like his hugs.
Silas engulfs me in a big but gentle hug. I wish this would solve all my problems. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life embraced in the warmth of his arms if that was the case. It feels so secure.

Her body relaxes onto mine, and I smile to myself like an idiot.
Having her in my arms is just so right in every way. I don't know how I managed to get to this stage, but I did it. I knew that she wasn't this cold and emotionless person that she and other people make her out to be. I knew that she had a sweet side to her and with patience and time I will get to see that part of her fully. I'm slowly winning her over. It is just a matter of time so that we will finally be together.
"Have you heard from Kane since yesterday?" It's the reason I'm here.
She sounded very nervous and almost scared on the phone last night. I hated it. I hated to think that I wasn't there when that idiot approached her and Orion. I'm here for her now and I always will be from now on.
"No." She quietly responds.
I softly rub her back as she lets me hold her. This is heaven. I asked for a hug, but I am glad I didn't specify how long it would last. It makes me content to know she finds comfort in me.
