Noah looked pained. "I don't want you to go, Lynne. I just don't want to hurt you again." He wrapped an arm around her. "I'm sorry I'm so messed up." He turned his head sideways so he could kiss her on the top of her head.
"I have a sleeping pill that helps with the nightmares sometimes. I'll take one tonight and maybe that'll help. We can put pillows between us so I can't do anything, just in case the pill doesn't work," Noah suggested. He was desperate for her to stay. He felt like if she went now, she would disappear from his life for good. Crazy to think like that, what with them being on a confined ship and all, but he couldn't shake the feeling.
