He was at peace. There was no frown to mar his face and there were no nightmares in his head tonight. Summer lay on her side watching him sleep soundly; watching the steady rise and fall of his chest. She liked this time. The time when they were utterly spent, when they would lie tangled together in the sheets; the moonlight pouring through the window and bathing them in its pale, serene light. She smiled to herself as he shifted in his sleep, turning to face her and in doing so, blocking out the light coming through the window. The rest of Corinth was asleep and would be up and awake in a matter of hours. Life would begin again and Dillon and Summer would go about their day, showing no signs that their relationship was anything more than teammates. The others wouldn't get suspicious and even if they did, they would never voice their opinions. Summer had thought it best not to tell the others, fearing it would ruin the group's dynamic, something which she did not want to lose. Dillon had agreed, after some gentle persuading, and now the only moments they could share were those stolen in the middle of the night while everyone else was fast asleep.
All was quite and the city would be waking soon. Summer gazed at the patch of cold moonlight on the ceiling for a few moments longer before turning over and letting her eyes drift shut. If the moonlight was all they had together, she wasn't going to waste it.
