I lay there, half asleep in his arms, staring up at the stars. With my head on his chest I can hear his even breathing and then I have the courage to say something. I sigh and lift up my head so my chin's on his chest and I'm looking him straight in the eye.

  "What's wrong with us?" I ask him

  "Green, I have no idea."

  "Maybe we should find out"

  He sighs while I get up and head to the tent. I lay down and pull the covers over so Cameron can get in as well. I turn over so my head is on his chest again and I slowly fall into a deep slumber, listening to his breathing and beating heart.  I don't know if it was the sleepiness that made me say it or something else but it just escaped.

"What if I said I lied?"

I didn't hear if he answered or not because I was already to far in sleep, but if he did hear it then I would have to answer him someday. But, for now I'll enjoy my sleep for fear I might never get some again.
