Sophie groans and buries her head deeper into my chest. She was being cute, she was wrapped around me like a koala bear. Her arms were wrapped around my stomach and her legs were over my legs.

"Why are you awake?" She asked

I snickered quietly. "Because your brother is a dumbass."

A smile spreads across her tired face, "I call him the same thing too."

I put my phone down and pull her body into mine. "Come on babe let's go to sleep."

She tiredly nods and we fall asleep intertwined, body and soul.

steph & mitch = perfection.
