The Break of Day

The skype tone chimed, and Ranger checked the pop up to see who was calling.

"Hey Babe, problems?" Ranger clicked through to open into video chat.

"I miss you and can't sleep," Steph yawned hugely. "I wish you were back from Miami."

"Me too, Babe. I am absolutely buried with paperwork right now. If you were here you could nap on the couch in my office until I was done."

"That would be heavenly." Another jaw-breaking yawn.

"I can think of a solution - set your laptop up on your nightstand, and go to sleep, and I will stay logged in and that way you will know I am watching over you."

Steph moved into her bedroom and set up her laptop, and crawled into bed.

"Love you Carlos"

"Love you Babe, sweet dreams."

"25 Or 6 To 4" - Chicago

Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor 25 or 6 to 4 Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wondering how much I can take Should I try to do some more 25 or 6 to 4 Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Searching for something to say Waiting for the break of day 25 or 6 to 4 25 or 6 to 4
