After some time talking, I finally glanced at her with a lighter mood. "Have you eaten anything yet?"
She shook her head. "No."
I rubbed my eyes and leaned back. "I really need some sleep, but I'll order something before I crash. What do you feel like?"
"Chinese," she said without hesitatio.
"Chinese it is," I said with a faint grin, already pulling out my phone.
...
I woke up with a start, disoriented by how dark the room was. Checking the clock, I realized it was almost 5 a.m. I had slept for nearly 11 hours.
As I shifted slightly, I noticed Charlotte lying beside me in white pajamas, her face soft and peaceful. I hadn't even realized when she'd come to bed. Her hand rested lightly on my arm, and I carefully lifted it, making sure not to wake her.
