“You sure you don’t want to just stop for a little while?” Lena asked for the third time that evening. She glanced at the clock and winced. “The books aren’t going anywhere and Angelita and I can just as easily hit this tomorrow.”
Wesley started to shake his head, then sighed. “Maybe I’ll just sit down for a minute.”
Wesley handed her a book as they sat on the couch, and Lena opened to where they’d left off and started to read aloud. A few minutes in, she realized Wesley wasn’t really listening any more. He had started to fall over and his head was leaning on her shoulder.
She set the book down and shifted enough for him to sleep comfortably. Strange almost that this was the first time they’d really touched. It was nice. She leaned against him and thought, just for a minute. He did need to get home sometime that night.
When Angelita came in through the front door the next morning, she stopped and raised an eyebrow, then sighed and went for the camera. Lena and Wesley had both fallen asleep on each other and she would need evidence for when they later denied it.
