Violet
I woke up for a moment when Doom climbed into bed with me.
My head settled against his chest as he lay on his side, one arm carefully draped over me.
Protecting me.
I was asleep again before I could think too much about it.
The next morning, I woke up in so much pain.
It felt like someone had taken a vehicle and run me over with it.
"Woman."
I whimpered.
"So much pain."
Doom kissed the top of my head before reaching toward the nightstand.
"Pain pills, Woman."
He grabbed the bottle and some water, then helped me sit up enough to take them.
"Thank you."
I took a careful breath.
Even breathing hurt.
Doom helped me into the bathroom so I could take care of business.
A shower was apparently out of the question until Doc cleared me for one.
Doom was adamant about that.
