Rooting through the cupboards she finally located a can of soup in the very back hiding behind boxes of cereal. She looked around for a pan and a can opener. One thing was for sure Roger's didn't have much in his kitchen. 'He must not cook very often,' she thought to herself as she turned on the stove. But then again he was always working so he probably didn't have much time for it.
Just as she was stirring the soup she heard a noise behind her and saw Tilly shuffle into the room still wrapped in her blanket which was trailing behind her. She had to admit she looked pretty adorable with her hair all mussed from sleep, she was practically buried in the blanket wrapped around her. All she could see was her head, her hands, and her feet poking out the bottom. "Hey what are you doing up?" She asked turning from the stove.
"I can't sleep." She replied her voice still raspy.
"I was coming back with your soup. Why don't you go sit in the living room and we can watch a movie while you eat." She told her as she grabbed a bowl.
"Ok," Tilly replied too tired to argue. She felt completely drained and she could hardly breathe she was so congested.
A few minutes later Margot came into the room carrying a tray with a bowl of soup, some crackers and a cup of tea. She set in down in front of Tilly who was sprawled out on the couch. She moved to let her sit down. "So do you have any movies?" she asked.
"I don't think so. I'm surprised he even owns a tele," Tilly told her. Rogers wasn't much of a television watcher, besides he was hardly ever home and when he was he preferred to read books.
"Hmm...well we can use my Netflix account," Margot said as she grabbed the laptop on the table.
"What's that?"
"You've never heard of Netflix?"
"Well, I've heard people mention it but I've no idea what they were on about."
"Well, you can watch anything movies, tv shows, documentaries. It's great. I've spent many a night binging shows when I was supposed to be sleeping." Margot had finished logging in and scrolled through her account in search of something to watch.
"Any recommendations?"
"Dunno you choose," Tilly replied laying her head on Margot's shoulder.
"Oh I watched this show a while ago you might like it," Margot said clicking on it. "It's basically about two college girls who team up to go after guys who are abusive towards girls. Plus it's funny."
"What's it called?" Tilly asked as the show started.
"Sweet/Vicious."
They were about three episodes in when Tilly's head ended up moving from her shoulder to her lap. She stroked the other girl's hair as they continued to watch. Minutes later she could hear her soft snores. She smiled, well at least she was getting the rest she needed. They were still sitting like that when Roger's came in.
"Oh hey." He whispered as soon as he realized Tilly was fast asleep. "Thank you for staying with her."
"No problem," Margot said stopping the episode. Maybe they could finish it later.
"Do you need me to move her?" He asked
"No, it's alright I don't want to risk waking her. She was having trouble falling asleep."
"Yeah, she's bad for that kinda thing. She's always going, going, going, never stops for anything. Guess it finally caught up with her." He replied going into the kitchen for something to eat. "You want something?"
"No I'm good I ate while we watched the show."
After eating something Rogers was headed back out the station to finish up some paperwork. He felt good knowing Tilly was in good hands. When he walked past the living room on his way out the door he noticed that both girls were now fast asleep.
