Needy was sure that, by now, she knew that voice. But she looked back over her shoulder to check anyway. When she saw Cal standing in the door way she couldn't help smiling for the first time in days. "You're awake," she said simply, almost as though he wouldn't know that, which was ridiculous, but it came out of her mouth anyway.
When she started moving across the room she didn't rush towards him, instead she just took her time, which was a bit slower than when she was fully awake and moving normally. But Needy couldn't help it once she got to him. The smile still on her face, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "I'm glad you're alright."
She would probably be embarrassed later, but that wasn't a worry just then.
