"Noe," Daniel's voice whispers in the gentle dimness of the bedroom. Immediately, Noe opens his eyes, springs off of his mother's lap where he slept, and stands in front of Daniel.
"What's wrong?" Noe's head darts left and right.
Daniel places his hands on Noe's forearms, "Nothing's wrong really; I don't want you to sleep uncomfortably. Let's go sleep on the couch."
Rubbing a half-lidded eye, Noe takes in Vivian's snoring form. Vivian turns over and gives her back to Noe and Daniel before, unbeknownst to them, opening her eyes and staring at the bedroom's wall.
"Are we sleeping together on the couch?"
Daniel softly clears his throat, "You must not know what sleeping together means."
"No, I do," Noe looks deeply into his eyes.
"We are just going to sleep next to each other... on the couch," Daniel exits the room.
"What a shame," Noe breathes before deftly closing the door on his way out.
Vivian soon snoozes back to sleep.
