Arwen hugged Aiden, moving her hands to slowly caress his back to comfort him.
When she felt his tensed muscles ease up, she pulled away to look back at his face. Through the stream of moonlight, she could see his face, but his expression was not very clear.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked, truly concerned.
Whenever she would wake up from a nightmare, he would coax her back to sleep.
But today, when their situation seemed to have switched, she was quite not sure if she was doing it right.
She hasn't done this before … for anyone. And she wasn't quite good at comforting anyone.
But for him … she wanted to be perfect.
Just the way he was for her.
Letting the pad of her thumb gently caress his cheek, she waited for him to respond.
And Aiden didn't take long. Giving a small smile, he nodded with a hum.
"Good, then," Arwen said, visibly relieved. "Otherwise, I didn't know how to make you feel better."
