Isaac arched his back but refrained from touching Irene-he simply picked up her blanket and adjusted it for her.

Then, he stayed there for a moment and said ever so softly, "I don't mind.’

Those words left tears welling up in Irene's eyes.

Even so, her tears trickled out along the corner of her eyes, flowing over her nose and disappearing into her hair.

As her body started to shudder, Isaac wanted to comfort her, but his hands hovered in the air for a moment before lowering.

She needed time, and him being close would only add to her pressure.

He breathed a deep sigh and returned to their bed, but lay on his side, watching her on the couch.
