It got to be late and it was time to go to bed. Whitney wanted me to sleep with her in her top bunk. Then her roommate came in. She started to drift off to sleep. Then her roommate left the room for a long time. But she was already sleeping soundly.
I lay awake for an hour. I thought about running and about writing. Then I thought about weekend trips I'd taken with my family as a kid.
After a while I gave up. I went to the living room to put on my jeans and grab a book from my bag. Then I sat down at the computer for a long time. Then I looked out the window for a long time. Then I stared at my book cover and at Whitney's indoor herb garden.
Finally, I lay down on the couch. I slept until 6:15 when Whitney came to wake me up and invite me back into her bedroom.
