Dorothy blinked, slowly catching on to what Everett was getting at. Yet, she got it, but also didn't. She was right there, why the need for restraint? It wasn't their first time, why was Everett suddenly playing coy?

"Got it now."

"Yeah."

Releasing her wrist with a huff, Everett grumbled, "Now that you know, just sleep tight and behave."

This turn of events wasn't quite what Dorothy had envisioned. They settled back into bed, but this time Dorothy didn't dare to make even a slight move, curling up like a scared little mouse under the covers. Everett was waiting for her to fall asleep, but little did he know, Dorothy was doing the same, waiting for him to drift off! As time ticked by, it was clear they were both wide awake.

Everett felt a headache coming on from holding back, deciding to get up and head to the master bedroom for a shower, to put some distance between them. But as he made to move, Dorothy grabbed him. "Everett, don't go."

"I've got something to take care of."
