    He never knew that he could be so flustered just by hearing her


    words.


    “Are you feeling better?” asked Grace, not caring that his hug was


    hurting her. All she cared about was what was wrong with him.


    However, it did seem that his trembling was subsiding. It was not


    as serious now.


    “Better…” Jason murmured, still holding her.


    It turned out that she could frighten him so much and that she had more influence over him than he


    thought.


    After a long time, Jason’s trembling finally stopped.


    Then, he let go of his hands and said to Grace, “I must have hurt you when I hugged you.”


    “It’s all right. It doesn’t hurt too much. I have pretty good pain. tolerance,” she said. After all, after such


    inhumane torture in prison, ordinary pain was nothing to her.


    Jason’s eyes darkened as if he had thought of something. “All right, I’m fine now.”


    “By the way, what was the matter with you just now?” she asked.


    She would feel troubled if she did not know why.


    “It was probably…” He hesitated a little before saying, “It was


    probably just a bad dream. I woke up with a start, and my body.


    couldn’t help trembling because of the bad dream.”


    Grace’s eyes widened in surprise. They both had dreams tonight.


    However, she was surprised that he was trembling with fear from


    nightmares.


    “Was it a terrible dream?” she asked curiously.


    “I guess so,” he answered.


    “You guess?”


    “I don’t remember the dream after I woke up. It’s just my body feeling the fear of it,” he said. When he


    heard her crying ‘Bryn’, it was a nightmare for him.


    ‘Did she dream of Brian? Why did she dream about Brian? Does


    that mean she has him in her heart?’


    Even if he deliberately prevented them from recognizing each other and even if Ste Lindsay took her


    ce, there seemed to be a bond between them which however much he tried to cut it off, it would


    not!


    “All right. It’s only a little after 2 a.m., go back to sleep,” said


    Jason.


    “How about you? Aren’t you going to sleep?” she asked hastily.


    “I can’t sleep, so I might as well not sleep at all,” he said, getting


    up to get out of bed.


    Suddenly, she took his hand and under his slightly astonished. gaze, pulled him back to the bed. Then,

    him and patted him gently with her hand as if she was coaxing a


    baby that would not sleep.


    “Why don’t we try and see if you can fall asleep this way?” asked


    Grace.


    Jason immediately did not know whether tough or cry. “Are your


    treating me like a child?”


    “I think kids fall asleep easily this way. We’re just trying it anyway. Maybe it’ll make you sleepy? Why


    don’t you close your eyes?”


    He hesitated for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes like she


    told him to.
