Cate wasn't sure what woke her, but she was too comfortable to move at first, preferring to stay curled up under Kent's arm for a little while longer. She'd tried to get back on schedule, since she'd be missing some classes while away with Charlie, but she just hadn't had it in her. She'd gone to her first class, then decided she could afford to skip out on the other; thankfully, Friday was a light day. Instead, she'd gotten to Kent's just as he'd gotten home from work, and the rest of the day had been gone in a pleasant, sleepy blink.
Things had still been a little tense with him the day before, after everything that had happened. After he'd gotten patched up, there'd been only a little conversation, and then she'd had him drop her at Charlie's hotel so he could go home and sleep before his upcoming shift. It had left her feeling even sadder than she'd been already, but she had a feeling it would have only been worse if she'd stuck around. Having that day to recuperate had done wonders for her psyche, and she could only hope it was similar for Kent. Considering they'd only spoken enough for him to let her in and then to crawl into bed, it remained to be seen.
Cate turned over to face her boyfriend, stroking the side of his face with one hand. "Morning, sleepyhead," she said softly. "Well, your morning."
