Moments later the bathroom door creaked open slowly.
Adam immediately turned to see Sophia emerging. She had managed to change into fresh clothes a simple t-shirt and loose pants.
But her movements were still incredibly weak and slow. Without saying a single word she looked straight at Adam. Her eyes were soft and filled with a storm of complex emotions.
There was relief in them but also confusion and deep exhaustion. Her gaze never left his face as if she was trying to understand something she could not quite grasp.
Adam gently took her by the hand his touch warm and steady. He helped her walk back toward the bedroom. Throughout the whole time Sophia did not speak.
She merely watched him with a quiet intensity her silence more powerful than any words could have been. He could feel the slight tremble in her hand as he led her back to her bed.
