I walked into Luca's room about an hour later.

I wasn't planning on waking him up, I just wanted to check on him after that spell I did.

I flicked on the lights, gazing down at the bed.

He was still sound asleep, breathing softly as his expression remained relaxed.

I smiled then, about to leave.

But I turned, lips parting.

His cheeks were slightly damp, his lashes, too.

I stared for a moment.

But then a stray tear slipped from his eye, and it slid down his cheek, into the pillowcase.

My lashes lowered.

Crying in his sleep again.

I stepped over to him then, gently sitting on the bed as I pulled the covers higher over him.

After brushing his hair away from his eyes, I lightly ran my thumbs along his cheekbones, drying the tears.

His face etched slightly at the feeling.

"Shhhh..." I cooed gently. "There's no need to cry. You're safe now."

His breaths were shallow, and I just picked his head slightly up and scooted over to him...

And I gently set his cheek on my lap, knowing he needed some sort of presence.
