Late Night Reading

It's 2 am and Katherine can't sleep. It's not because she has a lot on her mind or because she's not tired. It's because Elijah isn't in bed with her.

She sits up and sees that the light in his study is still on. Katherine puts on her robe and walks towards his study. He is still perfectly dress, except without his suit jacket. He's reading a book

"Who reads at 2AM?" she grumbles as she wraps her arms around his neck.

A small smile forms on Elijah's lips as he gently pats her hand. "I do."

"Well, come to bed. I miss you." She whispered.

He looked up. "Do you?"

She nods and she rests her head on his shoulder. "I need someone to cuddle with, and I'm sorry but a pillow doesn't do you justice."

Elijah closed the book and kissed her forehead. "Let's go to sleep, Katerina."

Katherine raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Oh, I don't want you in our bed, so that we can sleep."

The End
