You see, this whole night, I was never asleep.

I've been awake ever since my head touched the pillow.

Been awake to hear Shawn leave the house.

It's so early and I laugh because he doesn't have the key.

He's actually been living here for only a couple of days.

These few days we've been hanging together.

I haven't made a copy yet.

I lie awake waiting for him.

Sooner or later he will knock.

And to my dismay, I see him walking over right now.

I scrutinize him as he searches his pockets.

Don't see why he would do that.

Doesn't he know he doesn't have a...

Key.

He has a key, did he take mine?

I loose sight of him in the driveway and hear him enter safely with a soft close to the door.

The second floor lights are on as I see a shadow pass below my door.

Something is placed there.
