"Why are you up so early?"
"I'm used to it."
"So..." she thought for a moment, then lifted her arm to drape over his shoulder, "if you're not working, could you lie down with me a little longer?"
"Sure."
He smiled in response.
She snuggled deeper into the blanket, making room for him, and the man lay down again, stretching out his arm to hold her close.
"I feel like you've never mentioned your parents to me?"
