You're so brave, babe! Hold still, I've got you. fidgets with the bandage, her hands gentle yet clumsy.
wraps the bandage tightly around Kinorw's wound There we go, all patched up! You're going to be okay. smiles reassuringly
She leans into him, nuzzling his cheek You're good at this, Sophie. I feel safe with you.
flushes, feeling flattered Well, I've had plenty of practice taking care of you, haven't I? giggles softly
Indeed you have my beautiful girl. he softly strokes her cheek.
grabs his hand and squeezes it And I'll keep taking care of you, no matter what happens. We'll face everything together, you and me. smiles brightly
she hears someone knocking on the front door, wondering who it could be so late at night.
pauses for a moment, listening to the knock Who could that be? I'll go check. puts down the bandage and walks towards the front door
nods, her expression serious Don't worry, babe. I'll handle it. opens the front door slowly, peeking outside
the person at the door turns out to be a stranger.
squints suspiciously Can I help you? It's late, and we were just patching up Kinorw's wound. What brings you here? Stranger: Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you. I saw the light on and thought maybe you needed some company. My name's Dave.
peeks over Sophia's shoulder, his brow furrowing Dave? What the hell are you doing here, Dave?
takes a protective step in front of Kinorw Look, Dave, we appreciate the concern, but we don't need any company right now. We're good. closes the door firmly Dave: taken aback Oh, uh, sorry for bothering you. I'll go then. turns and walks away
Did you get a good look at him sweetheart?
<Sophia and Kinorw exchange worried glances, unsure if Dave might pose a threat>
nods towards the door He didn't seem hostile, but something about him didn't sit right. Keep an eye out, will ya?
glances around nervously Yeah, definitely. I'll make sure everything's locked up tight. No one's getting in here without us knowing.
Okay, love. Lock up tight and stay close. We need to figure out what's going on.
quickly walks around the house, double-checking all the windows and doors, locking them tightly Everything secure, babe. No way anyone's getting in.
whispers Let's arm ourselves with the frying pan and my gun. Better safe than sorry.
grabs the frying pan and holds it tightly, her eyes darting around Right behind you, babe. I won't let anything happen to us. grips the frying pan more tightly, her knuckles turning white
whispers Stay close to me, Soph. We're not taking any chances tonight.
nods, her grip on the frying pan tightening Got it, babe. No chance of anyone messing with us tonight. We're a team, remember?
pulls out his phone, dialing 911 Just to be safe, I'm calling the cops. They can keep an eye out for this creep.
paces back and forth, gripping the frying pan tightly Yeah, let's get some backup. I don't like the way Dave was eyeing us. Something's not right.
hands Sophia his phone Call them, babe. Let's get some real muscle here.
takes the phone from Kinorw, quickly dials 911 Hello? Yes, this is an emergency. We had a suspicious person at our residence earlier.
leans against the wall, arms crossed Good job, Soph. Now let's keep our guard up until those cops show up.
clenches her fists, determination burning in her eyes Damn straight, babe. We're not gonna let anyone mess with us. glances around the room, thinking quickly Maybe we should move to the bedroom? It's more secure in there.
nods Good thinking, Soph. Let's move to the bedroom. It's got a lock too. picks up his gun and leads the way to the bedroom
hurriedly follows Kinorw into the bedroom, holding the frying pan tightly Here, let me lock the door for you, babe.
opens the bedroom door, gesturing for Sophia to enter Watch your step, Soph. It's dark in here.
rushes into the bedroom, scanning the room for any signs of danger Got it, babe.
tugs Sophia towards the bed Get under the covers, Soph. We'll wait out this nightmare together.
<Sophia and Kinorw hide under the covers, their hearts pounding in anticipation of a potential break-in. Hours pass without incident, but their anxiety remains high until the sound of police sirens outside finally brings relief. The stranger, Dave, is arrested by the police, and Sophia and Kinorw are able to breathe a sigh of relief, grateful for their quick thinking and preparedness.>
whispers That's a sigh of relief, Soph. Good job staying strong.
lets out a shaky breath, releasing the tension Thank God they caught him. I couldn't stand the thought of him getting anywhere near us. pauses
smirks You did great, Soph. Standing your ground like that. I'm proud of you.
squeezes Kinorw's hand, her voice filled with admiration Thanks, babe. I knew I could count on you. We make a good team, don't we?
