[ He'd drifted off to sleep finally, having counted over a hundred as the shadows slowly shifted on her ceiling. Exhaustion kicked in while he closed his eyes and focused on her breathing instead of his own. Only as he succumbed to sleep did he think about how often he'd fallen asleep to the sound of her breaths.
There were times she didn't utter a word in greeting when Jessica came through the door and they were tangled up physically in that silence. Other times, she slipped into bed while he was sound asleep and her body aligned perfectly next to his.
His thoughts wouldn't take hold. Dreams? Shadow wasn't sure what his mind had been up to. Had he been simply just replaying past memories or was it a dream he'd been having?
Only when Jessica felt stiff and heavy in his arms did every image in his mind come to a screeching halt. If the weight of her body hadn't started to pull him from sleep, her sudden jolt definitely did the trick. His mouth felt dry but he smacked his lips to fight off the dryness. ] Baby, what's wrong?
[ Hoarsely, he continued to call for Jessica. Shadow was careful not to restrain her or smother her. Her strength could send him crashing into the wall. He was careful not to run the callused parts of his hands over her skin, attempting a soft caress to coax her into answering him. ]
