[ last night ]
It's strange, how quickly he grew used to sleeping with Kitty in his arms. And the corollary, then, is how difficult it now is, to sleep without her.
Edmund feels better, when he wakes, than he has for most of the past week. It takes not quite a full thirty seconds to realize that at some point in the night, if the brown hair attempting to creep down his throat and choke him back to death is any sign, Kitty came home finally.
He smiles, pulling her hair out of his mouth, promptly getting more back in it when he kisses her forehead.
"Happy Hanukkah," he whispers, not wanting to wake her.
