“Just couldn’t sleep,” she answered in brief silence. He sat beside her and stayed quiet, listening to each other’s breathing while watching the sky above.
“Have you been dealing with it since then?” asked her brother. Her hands clasped from the coldness as the night went deeper. The chiller it gets, the silence it becomes.
