As the adrenaline leaves him, Ted is happily exhausted. With Joan's arms around him, fingers in his hair, the beating of her heart he can feel through her shoulder... He feels so calm and content. He feels safe, like nothing bad could ever happen.
He stays this for as long as he can, before his arms start cramping, and he finally pushes himself up a bit and rolls over next to her.
His face still turned towards hers, one arm resting on her stomach, a leg still draped over hers under the covers. He smiles over at her, blissful and disheveled.
