billie crawled into hayley's lap, cuddling into her. "please, haysie, can you sing?" billie pleaded. "misguided ghosts?" hayley asked, rubbing billie's arm. "yeah." billie nodded. "you really like that one, huh?" hayley chuckled. "mhm." billie mumbled. hayley quietly cleared her throat and softly started singing the song. she could feel something was off about her usually effervescent client. billie almost felt heavier in hayley's lap. as the song progressed, hayley could feel billie becoming more and more limp as she fell asleep listening to her mellifluent voice. she ran her fingers through billie's hair.

billie let out a mewl in her sleep, clutching onto her therapist. "i got you, baby," hayley whispered, softly caressing billie's cheek. "i'm not going anywhere," she mumbled. soft sounds emitted from billie's pink lips as she slept. hayley thought billie looked so beautiful in her lap. she pressed her lips against the younger woman's forehead. "you're so beautiful," she hummed and watched  a small smile appear on billie's face. "precious girl." she smiled. she shuffled around to lay down. she held onto billie and couldn't help but let her eyes flutter shut.

billie cuddled into hayley's chest, pinching her t-shirt between her fingers, rubbing it between them. their legs tangled together. hayley's right hand rested on billie's head and her left hand laid comfortably on billie's lower back. the door opened and maggie popped her head in. her eyes wandered to the couch where two small women were cuddled up in. she took in the sight as she pouted. hayley's face being pressed against the top of billie's head. billie's face buried in hayley's chest. "aww, they're asleep." she whispered, turning to finneas. "should we wake them?" finneas asked. "in fifteen."

billie sat down on hayley's lap, restring her head on her shoulder. she reached over and grabbed the hair that fell on hayley's other shoulder, twirling it between her fingers. "when and where's the next hotel?" hayley asked. "i hate these tiny little coffins!" she whined, pointing to the bunks. "me fucking too!" billie agreed. she felt her phone vibrate on her lap and picked it up, reading the text from drew a couple times before letting out a "...what?" as she furrowed her brows.

'jiiiii blllee k msim upt'

"hmm?" hayley hummed. "please translate, i don't speak, um... whatever language this is." billie said, showing hayley the text. "oh, that's easy," hayley laughed. "it says 'hi, billie, i miss you.'" she chuckled. "oh, i see it now!"
