Lucas leaned back into the plush cushions of the couch, the final whistle of the football game still echoing in his ears.
The living room was now silent, save for the low hum of the television as it flickered to a sports recap.
Rubbing his eyes, he considered his options. He could keep watching the television and wait for Tyler, or go straight to bed.
He glanced at the wall clock: 10:15 P.M.
Nah. He couldn't wait up for Tyler, he decided as he pushed himself off the couch and made his way to the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom he changed into more comfortable sleeping clothes and got on the bed, ready to call it a night.
He lay on the bed for some time, and when sleep wasn't forthcoming, it occurred to him that he could seize the opportunity to talk to Amy before going to bed, since it was morning over there in Ludus and she was most likely awake now.
