... of hungrily gobbling down the delectable Italian food, he'd finally satiated the growling in his stomach. He briefly wondered if he should move Sarah, thinking better of it and tucking the blanket close around her shoulders. He quietly leaned over and kissed her, his ribs aching. He knew he shouldn't watch television, not wanting to wake her up. He knew he was still tired enough to sl**p, though, and began to head back to Sarah's room. The soft pattering of footsteps came from up the stairs. He stopped and peered up into the darkness. Danni appeared and came into the kitchen wearing her customary sports bra and underwear. "Hey there," she said, coming in close to him for another hug. "Hey you," he said, smiling at her as they embraced. "Can I make you something to eat?" she asked. "Nah, I just had some leftovers." They held each other in silence for a few long moments. He gently pulled away and looked at her. "You ok?" She shook her head softly, tears beginning to well up again.

"I can stay up and we can talk or something, if you'd like." She smiled shaking her head, "That's okay, but, do you think..." "What?" he asked softly, unsure if she'd finish her question. She nuzzled close to him, glad to feel safe under his arms. "Do you mind if I sl**p next to you?" He smiled; it felt like someone had released a bunch of little furry kittens that were blowing kisses into his brain. "Of course you can. Besides, have you seen the size of Sarah's bed?" Chuckling, she grabbed him by the hand and led him into Sarah's room. They adjusted the sheets together and climbed in, Mike taking the place closest to the edge of the bed, Danni lying near the wall. There seemed to be a tension between the two of them. It was because they were siblings and lying in bed together, he suddenly realized. He'd gotten a little used to the idea of being intimate with one of his s****r's and hadn't realized how odd this might be for her, especially given her attitude towards him just a few days previous.
