Mark's eyes opened to the moon shining and the darkness of the night.
How long had it been?
He looked at his watch.
Two a.m.
He put his glasses on and tried to move Mimi's head without waking her.
He put her head on the sofa.
Mark cautiously got off the sofa.
Mimi stirred but didn't wake up.
He sighed with relief as he walked to get their warmest blanket to wrap her in.
It was cold.
Felt like below zero cold.
Slowly he lifted her into his arms and carried her into her room.
He lowered her into her bed.
It was warm
She was warm.
In spite of his better thoughts, he lethargically dragged his feet toward the door.
For some reason, he couldn't quiet place, he stopped.
He turned to face Mimi.
She was awake.
Her brown eyes showing an awkward stare.
Was it fear?
He smiled and said
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty"
She smiled and laughed a little.
"Don't tell me that you're my Prince Charming"
A playful yet tired look replacing the look of fear in her eyes.
"Why not?"
Mark walked to her bed and sat on the edge.
"Nothing. I just thought my Prince would be a bit taller"
She said and laughed.
That was their joke.
Mark was short and Roger always played with him because of it.
He missed Roger.
Mark decided to get revenge.
He pounced on her and began tickling her.
"Stop"
Mimi could barley talk.
She tried to push him off, but Mark refused to move.
Mark finally gave in and fell down next to her.
They both began laughing once again.
When they finally calmed down Mimi thought this would be the best time to tell him.
"Hey, Mark?"
They were looking into each others eyes.
"Yeah"
Mark said running his hands through her curly mane.
"Thanks"
