Marcus held Cornelia tight, "Yeah."
Cornelia snuggled up comfortably in his arms, "I'm feeling a lot better now, I need to go take a shower and then we can hit the hay. Tomorrow, I'll go with you back to the office."
Marcus immediately picked her up, "Allow me."
Cornelia quickly pushed him away, "I'm on my period."
Marcus said, "What weird stuff are you thinking about? Would I disregard your condition?"
Cornelia blushed and buried her head in his chest.
She wasn't overthinking, it was just that his behavior the night before was too unusual, even more ferocious than a beast. It scared her, so that was why she reacted like that. However, Marcus showed Cornelia through his actions that he was just genuinely helping her shower, with no other intentions.
...
After the shower, laying on the soft bed, Cornelia quickly fell asleep. With Marcus by her side, she slept really soundly this time, no more nightmares.
Marcus watched her peaceful sleeping face for a long time, then bent over to kiss her forehead. He then stood up, took his phone, and went out to the living room balcony. He dialed a number, "Speak."
