OOM: Room #100 - drinking aftermath (part 2)
[following this:]
It's a long and restless night, both for the outlaw, and for the Russian astronaut.
Once or twice, Kate jarred Esfir from slumber by waking with a start and lunging for that trash can. Who knew a body that tiny could survive being sick so many times in one night?
Esfir finally decided to forsake her spot in the armchair after the last time Kate was sick, settling next to her in bed.
"Momma?" Kate had murmured, half asleep and disoriented.
"Go back to sleep, Katyushka."
It wasn't long after that when dawn broke.

Gently, he moves their hands up to his lips, brushing a featherlight kiss across her knuckles, eyes still open to hers.
"I've got you."

'I've got you.'
'I've got you.'
'I've got you...'
She quickly slips off again, feeling safer and more protected than she's felt in a very, very long time.
