Chapter 160

Tyler was still looking at Vicky sharply. Vicky did not know what he could see in the dark, but she did not open her eyes or move, acting as though she was asleep. She could not tell how long it had been. When she was finally falling asleep, Tyler finally left. At first, she thought Tyler might not come back. When she was deep in her sleep, she heard someone opening the door and walking. Shortly, the other side of the bed sunk a little. Later, she was pulled into a familiar pair of arms. The smell of the sanitizer floated in the air. The pungent smell was terrible and it disgusted her and even woke her from her sleep. Her instinct kicked in and she tried to struggle away from the hug. Tyler paused. Seconds later, his voice rang in the dimmed room, "You're awake?" "Yeah." Vicky moved over to the other side of the bed and said softly, "The disinfectant smell on your body is too strong. I'm not very comfortable with it." After a moment of silence, he said, "I'll go take a shower."
