Sounds promising. [ He shot back only to realize how stupid he sounded. Not even his smile would make up for it, knowing it wasn't fully there. Confiding in her lifted some of the weight on his shoulders but it made him relive some of his darkest moments.
That wasn't any fault of Jessica's. He wanted her to know what she was getting into by allowing him to stay with her. Most of all, he wanted her safe even if she insisted there was no future between them.
Instead of giving her his glass, Shadow took the one out of her hand. ] I've got it.
[ He motioned toward the bathroom with his head. Sleep made sense. She'd been up early and gone most of the day. He'd disclosed a lot, enough to wear himself down. It was safe to assume that she was drained too.
Yet he had no plans to sleep, the least he could was take care of their glasses.
Shadow didn't leave but set her glass down next to his on the nightstand then bent over to unlace his footwear. He stepped out of them then did the same with his socks, grabbing both before finally standing and setting them next to his bag in the corner of the room. Next was the shirt he was wearing. One hand reached behind his head and pulled a handful from the back of his head. He let it fall on top of the bag before pulling off the belt from his jeans. The denim clung to his hips after the accessory was removed. Idly, he wrapped the leather around his hand that gripped the buckle, neatly rolling up the belt before bending down then sitting it on top.
Hopefully Jessica would get some rest under the guise that he was going to sleep too. ]
