Caleb and I walked back to the cave. We brought back winter berry so we didn't look suspicious. Lucas asked what we did the whole time.
"We were picking berries."

"Is that really what you did?"
He made a face so awkward.

"Yes Lucas we picked berries."
"Okay, I was kidding."
He chuckled A little.
"Well," Lucas said yawning, "it's getting late, we should all go to sleep for the night." He walked to the edge of the cave and laid down. Carter went to the middle of the cave, and Caleb and I went to the back.
Hours had passed. I couldn't sleep. Caleb was asleep next to me. But we were not touching at all. Of course I wanted to touch him. Our bodies at least. I tossed and turned for a few. Finally he awakened.
"Can't sleep?"
"No."
"I can tell."
He turned towards me and put his arm
Around me.
"Well Stelle, you have to sleep."
He kissed my head, and I fell asleep.
I woke up to Caleb's arm around me, and Carter staring at me.
