“Obviously, me either,” he said.

“I seem to be able to do it,” I shared.

He stared down at me.

After that, Johnny was kissing me.

I didn’t know how we made it back to the bed.

I did know how I was able to fall back to sleep almost instantly after Johnny was finished with me.

So I obviously didn’t know he didn’t fall back to sleep.

He also didn’t go stand under the stars and stare at the creek.

He lay in bed, holding me.

And he stared at the dark ceiling.

Smiling.
