[@Ojo chan 42] Vladimir's sleep was not the most peaceful. His body occasionally trembled as nightmares plagued his mind. Eventually, he pulled Sasha closer in his sleep...as if he needed the comfort to assure him that his nightmare was not reality. Then suddenly silent tears fell from his closed eyes. He whispered softly in his sleep. [color=lightblue]"Please....not her too."[/color] the trembling increased until finally his eyes opened. The look of panic was there until they focused on Sasha. Once they were focused, panic dissipated. He kissed her gently. [color=lightblue]"Good morrow"[/color] his eyes took in her face and all other emotions but content and bliss dissipated from his eyes.
