Esther wiped the tears from her eyes as Blaise pulled her back into his arms, too tired to really put up much of a fight even if she wanted to. She was heartbroken and exhausted, and as much as she wanted to go inside and sleep with him, her fear of leaving the grave unattended kept her from it. "Of course she's here.. this is where I buried her." Esther murmured, although she was already beginning to drift off to sleep as he held her against his chest. "I can't.. I can't leave her, Blaise.. I just can't.."
Despite her best efforts to stay awake, she was sound asleep not much later, curled into his arms as she clung to his shirt. She'd missed him, the comfort he brought her, and while he couldn't fix everything that was hurting her, he could help bandage the wounds.
