Lilli eyes slowly fluttered open, the light of the city brightly shining around her. She could hear Bri snoring in the front, and the taxi driver humming along to a pop song on the radio. As she slowly came to her senses, she realized something was odd, rather two things. 

The first was that her symbol, did not burn, she felt no pain. 

The second came when she moved her hand to touch her symbol. She couldn't move her arms. They were wrapped tightly around the figure in the seat next to her. A pair of arms wrapped around her back with a hand resting on her ribs. The other arm pulling her into there chest and there hand tangled trough her hair. She could feel his breath on her skin. Lilly sat there for a moment contemplating wether she should try to move or not. She did not want to wake Liam up. 

With there bodies still entangled, Lilli heard Liam's voice "g'morning" 

Lilli quickly drew back pulling her arms back swiftly. Liam's voice was quiet and calming, but lively. He had not just woken up. 

"H-Hey, you ok? D-D-Did I say something wrong? Did you not want th-that?" Liam's words came fast and in stutters. Lilli now say the panic in his eyes. 

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have fallen asleep on you like that, completely my fault, you're fine Liam." Lilli stated and say the worry leave his face, but it it was replaced by what seemed like sadness. 

" you just looked happy and like you were actually sleeping for once, I wanted you to be comfortable" Liam looked out the window, his hand flicking at a small piece of black rubber on the taxis window.

"Thank you" was all Lilli returned

"Hey guys, can you wake up your friend, we are about two blocks away from your destination" 

They shook awake Bri and waited for the driver to pull over.
