“I’m sorry, princess.” I snapped off the lamp next to her bed. “I thought you didn’t have any more apologies left.” I heard her soft voice in the dark. “Maybe for you, I had one more,” I replied. “Do you think you could stay with me for a few minutes? Just until l fall asleep? There is a spare key hanging next to the front door that you could use.” I don’t think anyone had ever asked me to wait while they fell asleep. I took off my shoes and climbed onto the bed beside her. I stayed on top of the covers while she snuggled down in the blanket scooting closer until she was cuddled close to my side. Her breath slowed down, and I could feel her body relax next to me. The rhythmic sound of her breathing soon began to lull me to sleep. My eyelids got heavy, and before I knew it, I was drifting away.” #impelled #nickandkenna (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNEPB4At59/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1khjiiesnkicz
