"Leo?" Daisy asked breathlessly.
"I'm sorry," Rukelion replied in an instant, worried that he had crossed a line. "I went overboard. I just—"
She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his neck. "I know. Don't apologize. Come on, you need your sleep. You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow."
She let go of him and crawled back under the quilt, patting the spot next to her. He laid down and she draped an arm over him from behind, her face pressed against his back as she snuggled closer.
"I love you, Leo. Hurry home, okay?"
Rukelion sighed contentedly. Hurry home? He didn't want to leave in the first place if he got this sort of treatment! Unfortunately, he had to. And Daisy most likely wouldn't allow this sort of thing once she was back. She only was right now because she was worried she was never going to see him again and wanted to indulge him.
