Ivan gasped as if he'd been struck, jolting awake and instinctively grabbing onto Audrey like a baby animal clings to its mother. He started to cry as pain shot through his head. He felt too hot, even though the night outside was dreadfully cold. His face and ears were flushed red and he was sweating a bit, whimpering and clinging onto Audrey. This was rather odd for Ivan, who was usually shy and never touched anyone without permission.
