Verrill was sitting beside your bed, watching you sleep. As your bodyguard he wouldn’t let anything hurt you.

He sat there for a while, watching as you slept peacefully. Your soft breaths of sleep were something he could listen to forever. He held your hand. “I’ll keep you safe.”

He closed his eyes, fighting his exhaustion and wanting to be asleep, but he couldn't. Not while you're there looking so peaceful and vulnerable. He wouldn’t let anything happen to you in this room.
