"That one friendly gesture has turned into a normal routine. Honestly, I'm not complaining. I've always wanted to be the little spoon, so that he could wrap his comforting arms around my figure. Keeping me safe. At first, we would go to our separate rooms and then somehow, we always ended in the same bed in the mornings. Whenever we woke in the mornings, it used to be so awkward. He used to sneak out of the room when the crack of dawn had risen, him thinking that I wouldn't know that he snuck in. Now, he just comes in my room and goes to sleep with me knowing. Ever since that nightmare that night, we had started a new habit. " ____________________________________________________ Hope's best friend from Stanford has been living with her for a while now.
