We're just perfect like that. [ She sighs, grinning brightly. But it quickly softens into a slightly more concerned look. ] You've had a long day. Ready to try and get some sleep?
Mostly it was driving, it wasn't that bad. [ But that's not really a protest, just a correction, and he shrugs slightly. ] But sleep's a good idea.
[ Even if he's not that tired, he doesn't want to keep her up -- and it's starting to hit him a little, now that he's here and relaxed and comfortable. He leans in to kiss her once more, softly. ] Love you, baby.
I haven't driven in a while, but I remember it being tiring. [ It's more the caring side of her that comes out particularly when it comes to Nate, and especially when he comes back after a job. She isn't the most nurturing person, she doesn't think. But she wants to make sure he's okay, rested enough and all that. ] Love you.
[ He just gets her melting every time he says it. She gets her hand back up under his shirt to rub his back. ]
[ He can't help the way he just beams, hearing it from her. It's not a surprise anymore, exactly, but fuck if he's not just as grateful every time.
And the touch is soothing, enough that his eyes are closing quick, sinking into the bed. Maybe he's more tired than he thought, or maybe he's just comfortable here in a way he can't get anywhere else. He nuzzles at her gently, arm still wound around her and keeping her close. ] You try to get some more sleep too, okay? G'night.
Sweet dreams, babe. [ It turns out, rubbing Nate's back is just as relaxing for her as when he rubs her back. Eventually she drifts off, settled in comfortably against his chest. The safest place to be.
She doesn't have her alarm set, so she'll be sleeping in. The cafe can wait, this is way more important. ]
