<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ff99"><span style="font-size: 15px">Alicia smiled as she saw how peaceful her husband was as he slept. Not for the first time since they had gotten together, did she spend the night watching Jason sleep. It was one of her favorite things to do, actually, second only to, well, she sure anyone could guess what her favorite activity was. As he slept, she shifted a little against him and ran her fingers through his hair. The action was a familiar one to both of them, and soothing. She used to run her fingers through his hair all the time in the years they were together before things changed. <br/>
<br/>
And now seemed like just as good a time as any, to bring it back. He was peaceful while he slept, and that was what she wanted for him. </span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 255, 153)"><span style="font-size: 15px">Since she was unable to sleep herself, she just continued to run her fingers gently through his hair, and at one point, the young woman even started to hum softly. Since it was the middle of the night, there wasn't much else for her to do. And given  that they were still on the boat, there was no way in hell that she was going to leave the boat on her own to go and explore the surrounding area. <br/>
<br/>
There was no telling just how many Infected were stumbling around just waiting to take a piece out of someone foolish that went walking around at night, in the dark, in an unfamiliar place. She was many things, but stupid and suicidal weren't one of them. She continued to hum softly. It felt like the hours dragged by, but thankfully that wasn't <br/>
the case. While Alicia didn't sleep that night, it didn't really matter. All that did matter was that they had made it through the night, on the boat, without getting attacked, but Infected, or by other people. <br/>
<br/>
So, she chalked it up as a win for them. When Jason woke up the next morning, she smiled and shifted in his arms again, and leaned in and pressed a sweet kiss to his lips. The kiss lasted for several moments before she pulled away, and then rested her head against his chest for a few moments, as listening to the sound of his heart always soothed her. <br/>
It let her know that he was still alive, still okay. And that was what mattered to her. After several minutes of lying there in silence with Jason, she looked up and met his eyes. <br/>
<br/>
"We should get up, get dressed, and start moving. We'll need to get the others going, too, so that we can start searching the area for a decent place to stay, and we need to see if any other people are around here. We need to try and find some kind of supplies, too, so we're going to have a long day ahead of us. But before we go, I want you to know... I love you.." She said, and kissed him once more, before reluctantly getting up, leaving the bed and going to get dressed for the day once more. They all had a lot to do today.</span></span></span>
