Anna kept her mind occupied with the show and Cade's warmth. It still made her laugh. They seemed to keep getting closer, and Anna liked it. The lights would occasionally flicker. Anna could feel herself getting scared about the storm, but she kept herself focused in other ways.
The episode ended and the lights flickered a few times before going out completely. Anna let out a nervous breath before she wove a ball of light, bright enough to light the room, but dim enough to not blind them. She tied off the weave so she didn't have to hold onto it. She wasn't sure how long it would last before she would have to do it again.
Anna stood and grabbed another blanket. The heat would likely be going out as well without the power, they could use the actual warmth. Anna climbed back under the blanket, snuggling up close to Cade as she wrapped the blankets around them and pulled it up to her neck. Anna was shaking a little bit, feeling scared about the storm, not about the lack of light.
"The power is out. We'll be okay," she said, a pretend smile on her face. She was scared and knew it, but maybe if she faked it, she wouldn't be so scared.
