(no subject)

I fell asleep on the couch last night watching tv. When my parents starting moving around getting ready for work, I woke up, came upstairs, and crawled in bed with Luci, where I was supposed to be sleeping. She rolled over, opened her glazed, sleeping eyes, saw me and smiled a tiny smile that reminded me of when she was a baby. She curled into me and was still.

Love...or instinct...I'll take it.
