CRACK! The sound of thunder rattled the house and woke me up suddenly.  My mind rattled with possibilities. I knew I wasn't in any danger, storms happen all the time. Still, I could not hold in my squeak of fear as the second clap sounded and shook my house.
I hugged my knees to my chest trying my hardest to breathe and calm myself down.

The body next to me started to stir. "What's wrong princess? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine babe. It's just the thunder." I said, failing to act calm...
My love holds me close and rubs my back and he softly soothes me to sleep.
