It was clear that she was worried about him.
As Loraine finished tucking him in, the room fell into an uneasy silence.
Feeling a bit awkward, she stood up and said, Im going to Leave now, so you can rest.

Loraine sat next to him, her breath heavy with infatuation. He felt himself relaxing under her spell without even realizing it.
His fatigue slowly crept up on him. He then closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Loraine stood up quietly, making sure Marco was asleep before closing the door and Leaving.
Returning to Rowans ward, Loraine checked on him to make sure he was alright, but found him still awake.
