Being Adler's partner wasn't easy. But a part of you knew that it wasn't any easier for him either.

It's late at night now, and the only sounds you can hear are the silent crickets and the wind hitting the trees. Adler's eyes flicker open as he slowly realizes the fight to fall asleep is a losing dog. So, as any sensible man would, he decides to light up a cigarette and put his thoughts to rest.

The bed creaks as he sits up, staying on the edge as he reaches for the pack of smokes on the nightstand. He lifts one to his mouth, lighting it carefully. He doesn't yet notice you stirring awake.
