"Because he doesn't want to be spotted." Even Ellie knew of the Where's Waldo? books. Having to locate the damn man in red stripes on every page. ...it helped pass the time every once in a while. She looked over at Joel when she noticed he had rolled over onto his side to face her.
"Can't sleep, and misery loves company?"
Of course, there was more to it than that. Ellie didn't usually come to Joel when she couldn't sleep. She found ways to entertain herself. There were times when she could be found in the living room at all hours, watching Netflix. This was the first time she'd come into Joel's room due to being unable to sleep. And nightmares.
She rolled over onto her side to face the man, and scooted closer to him. Pulling covers up over her as she did so. This man was the only one she'd likely ever feel comfortable being in the same bed as. She completely trusted him. Though it hadn't come easy.
