She woke, several hours later, blinking. It was nighttime now, and the entire room had been plunged into darkness. For a moment she was afraid, but then she realized that she wasn't alone. Which made her relax.
He stepped in from the bathroom, having stepped away to splash water on his face, and smiled as he saw her awake. He could see her clearly, even in the darkness, and it seemed to him as if she glowed to his eyes. So very beautiful.
He held up a glass of water.
"Something to drink, dear?"
He marveled at this beauty before him, and that she would spend this night with him, and care for him... it seemed impossible.
Not a lie completely. He had found himself fading to wakefullness from something that had surely been sleep... surely. Even if it had felt like... death.
He carried the water to her and smiled, eyes taking her in, every inch of her.
"Magnificent."
His voice was quiet, and full of emotions even he could not completely think to name.
She blushed darkly and took the glass from him,her hand brushing over his. "Thank you." A quick kiss was pressed to his cheek, and she took a long drink.

Why did that sound like a stupid thing to say? "Did you sleep well?"
