the shuffling sound of their bodies crashing backward into the cold , damp earth was almost that of a blessing . he’d held onto her so tightly after her hand had pushed through the . . . barrier - or whatever it was , but now she was out . he had her . rolling over onto his side , eyes darting back to make sure she was the only thing to come through , mouth slightly agape as he witnessed the hole closing up , voice came out just a mumble of incoherent mess . ❛ wha- what the fu- ❜ there were no words , no way to explain his thoughts in that moment , before he finally tore his gaze away from the trunk of the tree back to nancy , nudging her gently with a shaking hand . ❛ are you okay ? ❜
@whellers : starter call .
