If Lennon stayed in the room, he was going to wind up going back to sleep, and he really felt the need to try to stay awake for a while. It wouldn't kill him to go across the hall to the game room. "Let's try it," he said. "If I can't hack it, I'll come back over here and collapse like a lazy slug." Carefully he got up from the couch, ran both hands through his hair to hopefully neaten it and decided he didn't need to change clothes just to go into the game room.
