As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in.
"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered.
(No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.)
I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness.
The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in.
"Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep.
(Rest now, you're safe, baby).
