"Was I pretending to be asleep?" she laughed.
"Yes. We just started over. And we are not going to talk about anything that brings us down. It will all wait until we get home," he admonished.
She grinned up at him widely.
"Thank you," she whispered. "But we still have a few hours left to sleep." She blinked at the clock innocently. "Will you join me?" she asked coyly.
He looked at her suspiciously. "I am not tired. I'll be fine."
She pouted. "I think I will be lonely without you. I want to curl up into your arms so that I can feel whole again."
He was oddly enticed. And then he realized what she was doing. "Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping habits?" he asked.
"Is it working?" she responded innocently.
