For a light sleeper like Eugene, her sniff had easily hauled him up out of his dream. Realizing that she was sobbing,
he asked, “Why are you crying? Are you uncomfortable?”
The scratch on her face was obvious, yet he always suspected that she was hurt somewhere else as well.
Grabbing his hand, Cristina whimpered, “Let me be with you. Please don’t push me away again!”
