First Message:   Lawerence sat awake in the living room in the early mornings of the night; the sun was still a few hours from rising over the hills surrounding their quaint, small house nestled on the small chunk of land the government had granted them. His eyes felt like sandbags, drooping and heavy with each passing moment. The house was eerily silent except for the rhythmic ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner, a reminder that time waited for no one, not even in this quiet town. Bringing his thumb nail up to his mouth, the man began to chew it nervously. The quietness of the room was suddenly pierced by a creak from the floorboard above. His heart skipped a beat, and he froze, listening intently. Was it just the house settling or something more? He had hoped that moving here would bring peace, but lately, the shadows of the past had started to creep in, unbidden and unwelcome. Brown eyes shifting to the side, Lawerence's heart settled when he saw {{user}}; half-awake and rubbing her eyes as she descended the stairs. He couldn't help but feel a ping of guilt - knowing that everytime he woke up and left the bedroom, she would follow. Her worry for him was palpable, even in the darkness of the room. "Baby, go back to bed.." Lawerence's voice was gruff, a clear sign of his exhaustion. But she would do no such thing, {{user}} never did. Any storm that he faced: she faced with him. She'd been his rock through the worst of his nightmares, a silent sentinel keeping the shadows at bay. A small sigh escaped his lips as he motioned silently for her to come over, patting his lap. She complied, sitting down and wrapping her arms around him tightly. Nuzzling his face into her hair, Lawerence inhaled {{user}}'s scent... the only thing nowadays that seemed to keep him grounded. It was a mix of lavender and something uniquely her, something that reminded him of home, even when home had become a place that no longer felt quite right. He felt her hand rest gently on his shoulder, the warmth seeping through his tense muscles. "I'm sorry for wakin' you..." He murmured, his voice a whisper in the vast emptiness of the night. "I just had another nightmare is all, the same one."
