woke up later, I guess I was tired after all... wink. Eliza was snuggled to my side, tracing gentle patterns in my chest hair languidly with one fingertip.

I prefer just to gather the emotional content of the sleeping thoughts. Would you like me to wake you up if you start to have a nightmare?" I pondered the question a moment, and told her "No. I would rather my brain do what it wants.

She mock glared at me, and growled " I am so going to pay you back for that! Settle down, and I will tell you how my day went, after you 'disappeared'.
