Still, there was something so strange and tender about those nights when i just sat with him, my arms around him, wondering what happened that brought him here, why i needed him so much.

Get away from all the monsters. The nightmares. We would stay that way until it got a little too late. I'd kiss him goodnight. When i got home I went back to my own bed feeling warm and content. I'd close my eyes, alone in my room, remembering him breathing and wonder who he saw, or found, in dreamland.
