Immediately, she jumped to her feet in fright.
Bar da-
Matthew felt that something was wrong and quickly flipped the room switch.
The room was soon filled with light and their eyes met in the air. Anna's panicked heart trembled for a moment at the sight of Matthew and then gradually calmed down.
Matteo saw Anna's wet hair and pale expression and took a big step toward her.
"What's wrong?"
Matteo sat on the edge of the bed and when his hand touched Anna's, his whole body trembled with fear and then unconsciously avoided her touch.
Then, realizing that she had been too obvious, Anna forced a smile that was worse than crying at Matteo.
"Are you off work? Me, I didn't cook tonight, you, why don't you order takeaway and just eat."
"Let's not talk about that." Matteo took her hand and when he touched it, he noticed that her clothes were a little sticky, Matteo then checked her back and noticed that her clothes were damp with sweat, then he frowned, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"
"No, no." Anna, who was still not breathing so regularly, shook her head and replied, "I, I just had a nightmare, and then when I woke up, there was, a little bit of fear, just when you opened the door and came in with the door open, and I got even more scared."
Her explanation would have made sense, but the frightened look in her eyes told Matthew that it was not that simple.
But the way she was frightened at that moment, if he asked her again, it might cause her to keep second-guessing herself and thus deepen her fear.
Matteo asked no more questions, but turned and opened the closet to get Anna a set of clean clothes, "Don't think too much, it's just a dream, now it's cold, you'll catch a cold if you put on wet clothes, change first and we'll talk about it."
"Okay."
Anna's hands were still shaking as she went to get her clothes, Matteo half-open his thin lips and said nothing.
As Anna changed, Matteo turned and reached for the remote control to raise the temperature a little more, then stood for a moment and heard the little girl behind him whisper, "It's done."
Matthew turned around.
As he changed, Anna turned a little better and looked at him with less fear than before in her eyes, and Matteo walked over to her and took her in his arms.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
He had just returned from outside, but his body was warm and the familiar smell made Anna feel very safe. She leaned against him and her hand unconsciously grasped the hem of Matthew's shirt as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"A little hungry, but I'm so tired."
"Just take care of the food, I didn't ask you to do that."
"Hmm." Anna thought for a moment with her eyes closed and shook her head, "I don't know what to eat, I'm so tired."
"Then sit for a while, I'll order a meal and have it brought to me later."
"Okay."
Then she lay down in Matteo's arms and rested her eyes. With Matteo around, all those horrible images were shredded as if paper had been thrown into a paper shredder.
She felt more and more dependent on Matteo, more and more enveloped by him.
As she thought about it, Anna stretched her arms around his lean waist.
Matteo's gaze moved down but his face did not move, he could feel the girl's discomfort and fear, but he could not ask what it was now, he could only press his big hand on her shoulder and give her a reassuring pat, one by one.
When he finished ordering, the girl still lay motionless.
