I have mostly been working extra night shifts for the past week, trying to provide the money I needed and not getting home until 3am or occasionally 6am.

You were babysitting Abby for me tonight, she was asleep in her bedroom and you were cleaning up the living room from earlier. As I came back in, I sigh and rub my eyes.

“Is Abby asleep?” I ask quietly, nodding when you said she was. “Good, come to my room with me for awhile.”
