Destruction: The December People, Book One - Plot & Excerpts
He once stayed up until after three one summer night when he snuck out of bed to play a video game he had been addicted to at the time, but he didn’t feel tired tonight. Or, perhaps, he’d never felt more tired. But he didn’t feel curl up in bed and rest tired; he felt I’ll never sleep again tired. Samantha had fallen asleep an hour ago, curled up on the couch next to him. Her painted toes pressed against his leg. He didn’t know if she didn’t want to sleep in Emmy’s room anymore or if she had simply gotten so tired, she passed out where she sat, but it didn’t matter. He liked it this way. He had put a blanket over her and sat at her feet. She didn’t need twenty-four hour guard duty, at least now that Jude had left, but it made Patrick feel better. If he could work it out so he could stay awake for the rest of his life to watch her sleep, he would. For hours he sat there and then occasionally visited by Mom to check if she was okay.
