However Long the Night

“Bathroom, spare blankets and towels, intercom,” Gideon said, pointing to each in turn. “I can’t guarantee the intercom works, but give it a shot if you want to find me or Jess. We only used it once, and then we got some kind of weird psychic charge through the electrics in the house that fried half the wiring.” At David’s frown, he held up a hand. “Don’t ask.

Gideon cocked his head. “I wasn’t going to let you two talk books at the hospital. You really think I’m going to let you do it here instead when you’re supposed to be resting?” He looked at David. “Make sure he sleeps. We’ll see you in the morning.”


David snorted as soon as Gideon was gone. “I guess I can make sure you sleep, because I’m sure as hell not going to be able to.”
