The fact that she was here still blew his mind; the fact that she trusted him enough to curl up against him like a cat that wanted his heat blew his mind and how goddamned sweet it was tugged at his heartstrings as he posited her into the matress he'd given up on thinking would be moved any time soon. It was a good thing the couch was comfortable and doubly so that he had no problem sleeping fully dressed.
But he didn't really ever sleep long when he wasn't in bed and comfortable, and 6 AM was an easy hour when it felt like you hadn't really slept at all.
He really had been thinking that he was silent enough to get by - there was three notes strewn along the kitchen, in hopeful estimates of where she might look first come sunrise, but the start of sound from behind him and the obvious question had him wincing as he stops and turning around in the door.
"Was hopin' to let you sleep in. You need it," he explains with a soft little smile.
While that was true, it was far from the whole truth.
