After her fever breaks, Kate doesn't move around much as she sleeps, exhaustion settling like silt in her blood

Bill hasn't left her side.

Someone was nice enough (or insisted) on bringing him clothes, so he's out of the sleepwear he wore in, and is wearing a pair of jeans and a red T-shirt, slumped in a chair beside her bed.

He's asleep, but only dozing; keeping a vigil over Kate while she recovers.

Her stirring rouses him almost immediately, and he looks over, straightening up in the chair.

"Kate?"

She exhales a soft sigh.

"Mmm?"

Blinking, she tries to clear the soupy fog from her eyes and thoughts.

"Hey."

Looking her over, his concern has a touch of relief to it when she responds to him.

"Hey, how y'feelin'?"

Reaching out, he gently touches her hand with his fingertips.

Her bleary eyes have lost their glassiness, the sheen replaced by redness.

"Fine, I'm -- "

She licks her dry lips; talking is more of an effort than it should be, somehow.

"Did I sleep through the alarm?"
