Aasrel woke near the end of the sequel and reached for Bethany’s hand again. Suddenly remembering she was sick, he peeked at her to see if she was awake.

It probably didn’t look comfortable leaned over against the bed perched on a functional, but without comfort, chair. Despite that she was sleeping quietly. The moment his fingers touched her hand she was instantly awake. Her head lifted and her gaze settled on him. “Hey. Everything okay?”
Bethany
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.” Aasrel said, his responses still coming a bit slow. “Are you comfortable like that? You need sleep.”
~ Aasrel
“It’s okay. I’m a light sleeper. You know that,” she grinned softly and winked at him. “It’s not the most comfortable spot I’ve ever slept in, but not the worst either. I need to be here with you.” She sat up so her wouldn’t have to move his head too much to look at her. “Do you want more juice?”
Bethany
Aasrel smiled and reached for her like he wanted to hug her. “I want you here. I just don’t want your health to suffer because I wanted this procedure done.” He nodded, a slight up and down movement of his head. “Yeah, more juice would be good.”
~ Aasrel
Bethany stood and settled on the edge of the bed and hugged him for a long moment. “I’m sure they will make me lay down when it is time for my hypo. I just don’t want you to fall asleep and then wake up alone.” She didn’t want him to be scared or confused.
She reached for the cup and held it for him until he had a firm hold on it. “I am being very good and very cooperative. I think Th’rethiss is suspicious that I might be up to something.”
