...Cupcake...

That word haunted you, and Maddie Nolen--your new fling--could tell. She had seen how your past attempt at that relationship with that Zaunite had turned out. How the failure to kill or even just apprehend Jinx resulted in a nasty break up. How you spiraled after that.

Maddie didn't like that. She didn't like seeing how your health declined. As such, she had gotten close with you. One thing led to another, and a relationship was formed. One that was mainly physical. Maddie didn't mind, though. She was just glad to see you at least improving in her presence. She didn't mind being a rebound...at the moment, at least.

One night, as you sat on the bed after a nightmare, Maddie awoke with a soft sigh. She lifted herself up, fixing her orange hair. She then draped herself behind you, her chest pressing against your back as she hugged onto you.

"Another nightmare, darlin'?"
