(good morning!) [In all truth, it wouldn't take much to put her to sleep. Right now she just really wanted to hear his voice as she drifted.]
[When he moved to the couch he made room for her there. She got up and moved to join him, but instead of curling up tightly beside him, she sat down in the middle, then moved to lay down, resting her head on his thigh, a hand resting on his knee, and looking out into the room. Listening as he read.]
[She really was enjoying the book, and she wanted to hear all of it, but he might find that he barely got through one chapter and she had topped staring. She had closed her eyes and inched close, curled up and asleep.]
[Crying was hard, and holding back emotions was harder. She got some out, and that was enough. Enough to give her rest. And a promise she knew she would force herself to keep, no matter ho sad it made her feel. She didn't know those kids and she never would. She had to get over it. She promised she would.]
[Asleep, he would be left to work on his work the rest of the night. He might even be able to move if he wanted to, she was that out of it this time.]
