Somewhere in the night, he'd managed to fall asleep.
When the sunlight hit his eyes, jarring him awake, he sat up and blinked into the room. He became aware of breathing….looked over.
The girl was still there. Leaning against the wall opposite his cell.
Asleep.
She had been there all night. He smirked at the thought of letting her fellows find her there. Imagined the reactions.
He almost settled back and waited for the fireworks.
But after a moment, for no reason he could readily explain…he stood. Walked across the room.
Knelt and peered through the bars.
"Hey…wake up."
OOO
