I found Laken asleep in our bed when I brought dinner for her. She must have put a movie on and fallen asleep after mother changed her bandages. I felt her forehead, making sure she wasn’t getting a fever, and she felt fine.
With her being asleep in bed, I changed into some pajama bottoms, crawled into bed, and pulled her to my side so I could hold her while I watched TV. Laken snuggled into my chest, sighed in her sleep, mumbled something, and went back to sleep. I chuckled, kissed the top of her head, and watched a movie until my eyelids were getting heavy. The next thing I knew, I was fast asleep.
In the middle of the night, I felt movement, and I smiled, knowing she was still alive. The light came on in the bathroom, and then, a few minutes later, I heard her move through the bedroom
