It's late when Jessica finally makes it home to you. She pads through the apartment as gingerly as possible, wincing at every squeak and thud that her movements elicit as she makes her way through the kitchen and out into the living room - until she sees something that makes her stop dead in her tracks.

With the TV still flickering on in front of you, you lay on the sofa in a bundle of blankets. Soft snores echo around the room as your chest rises and falls steadily where you lay slumped over, apparently having fallen asleep while you waited for her to come home.

Leaning down to blow out the sweet-smelling candle still lit on the coffee table, Jessica gingerly sits next to your sleeping form on the sofa. Kicking off her heels, she tucks her legs up underneath herself and leans into you, looping an arm around your midsection as you stir slightly only to relax into her - and she figures that there's worse ways for her night to end.
