"Sleep."
His voice rumbled in the dark breaking the blanket of silence.
You squirmed in his arms feeling him pull you flush against him, your back touching the broad area of his chest.
He pulled the blanket over you again his lips touching the traces of your hair and his hands clasping over your own.
"Things are bad now," His voice trailed off, "I know that."
He embrace on your form tightened. You squeezed the side of his hand.
"Let’s just sleep." You finally whispered noticing the strain in his voice.
"Let’s just sleep," He repeated,
" Let's just sleep away all the bad things in the world."
