Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Rachel didn’t notice that she fell asleep as she leaned against the headboard. •

Her hand was placed on Joey’s back, rubbing it gently even if she was asleep. The dim light fell on her face.

Standing at the door, Victor watched the serene moment in a daze. After a while, he entered the room and walked to the bed. Rachel hadn’t changed her clothes yet since she didn’t expect to fall asleep with Joey. The cold wind blew in through the slightly opened door of the balcony. Rachel’s hair swayed a little, and some strands fell on her face.

Victor went to the other side of the bed and carefully picked up Joey. If he wouldn’t shift their position, Rachel would fall off the bed sooner or later. While asleep, Joey felt a pair of hands touch him. 

Frowning, he pushed Victor away. The latter didn’t move until Joey was comfortably sleeping again. Then he gently moved him to the other side of the bed.

Seeing Joey hug the quilt as he slept soundly, Victor sighed in relief. Then, he went back to Rachel.

Perhaps because of exhaustion, Rachel fell into a deep slumber.

Looking at her sleeping face, the word “depression” suddenly appeared in Victor’s mind again and he felt heartbroken.He had a lot of things to ask Rachel, but looking at her angelic face while she slept, he was lost for words.

Even when Victor carried her in his arms and took her to the other room, she didn’t wake up.

At this moment, the curled up Katie woke up. She rubbed her eyes with her paws and watched them leave the room. “Meow!”

The soft noise made Joey turn over. He held the quilt tightly thinking it was his mother. “Mommy…’
