[ "i think i should talk to demeter." ]
Kate eases open Boo's bedroom door, and she isn't completely surprised to see that Bill has fallen asleep with Boo curled on his chest, her head tucked under his chin. They're both snoring softly, a copy of Where the Wild Things Are rising and falling on Bill's stomach with each slow, even breath.
Smiling to herself, Kate pads across the room on silent feet and lifts the book from Bill's torso. Once it's back on the shelf, she carefully covers Bill and Boo with a spare blanket.
She doesn't want to wake either of them -- Boo played hard earlier, and Bill hasn't been sleeping well for days; the purple smudges under his eyes hurt to see.
She's closing the bedroom door behind her with a barely audible click when a soft knock sounds.
Her heart rate doubles as crosses the suite, but tension drains from her shoulders when she sees who's on the other side of the door.
"Demeter," she says quietly, stepping back and opening the door wider. "Come in."
