Her husband was clearly quite comfortable with little Anya snuggled up against his chest as he read a story the newborn certainly couldn’t understand. He gave Whisper a boyish grin. "We're enjoying ourselves."
"I can see that," Whisper agreed, "but it's past her bedtime." An amused pause. "And yours."
She held out her arms until with a sigh, he sat up and handed Anya over.
"I don't have a bedtime," he said.
“Without enough sleep, you grouse more than she does.”
