Not much time later she opened her eyes and stared at his face intently. Meeting his eyes she blinked and pursed her lips.
"So you're just going to watch me sleep?"
"Uh-huh."
She closed her eyes and attempted to sleep, only to open them again. "This won't do. I can't have you staring at me as I sleep. "Sleep with me."
"Can't. I have to prepare dinner after you fall asleep."
She sighed. "Just a bit."
"Until you fall asleep." He nodded and his head landed on the pillow next to her.
She grinned and pulled the comforter over them.
Silence didn't last long as she spoke, "I had an interesting conversation with Andrew this afternoon."
He hummed as he ran his fingers through her hair.
She turned back and laid her head on his forearm, which was spread for her. He also turned and wrapped his arms around her, as he traced random patterns on the naked skin of her stomach.
