The night was late. I was leaning against the bed and was almost falling asleep, yet Theo had not come in.

I yawned and was dozing off when the sound of the door opening came. I turned around, and it was indeed Theo who had entered. He looked at me with a leisurely smile. "Not asleep yet?" "Why are you so late?" I yawned as I spoke. Sniffling, my eyes went moist.
