He moved closer and despite everything, she just wanted to kiss him and let him wrap his arms around her and make her feel safe, like the whole thing had never happened. But she knew it had. She'd just seen the ramifications in the bathroom mirror.
She was practically skeletal. She could see so many of her bones, looking as if they were trying to break their way out of her skin. And her face, well, she hardly recognized it. The circles under her eyes, the way her cheekbones jutted out, scared her. It was no wonder he looked so relieved that she was upright and acting like herself. She was more than a little surprised that he'd let her walk back from the bathroom, and hadn't just picked her up and carried her.
So she stayed rooted right where she was, trying not to think about how she must look to him, when her stomach saved he from herself by grumbling. Loudly. Unmistakably. Making her laugh.
