"...?" the voice said as I watched the feet stepping in. "Are you...?"
I grabbed Candice's head, reluctantly pulling it off of my lower head, and back above the sheets.
"? Are you... Oh!" Amber said, looking at me.
"I'm obviously here, Amber!" I told her. "What's up?"
"Well, ," she said, "I know we didn't know Dad as long as you did. I was just wondering if you needed to talk, or anything else I might be able to do to help you get over losing him."
"How ironic!" Candice said, almost making the situation more awkward. "I didn't feel like I could fall asleep by myself yet tonight. said I could stay with him, and I was JUST about to offer to return the favor!"
"Oh! OK!" Amber said.
I was shocked when she turned and left, closing the door behind her.
"THAT was awkward!" I observed.
"Yeah!" she agreed. "Thank goodness we weren't interrupted by Jade!"
"Right!" I said, before turning back onto my side.
"Before you fall asleep, ," she said, touching my arm, "I have a question for you." |
