The movie ended long ago, and Orion had muted the TV before turning it to another channel, entertaining himself by trying to guess what the infomercial hosts were shouting without being able to hear a single word. Bella was passed out on top of him, small hand fisted in the loose shirt he was wearing, and the man was loath to disturb her - technically, she should have been in bed a half hour ago, but she’d fallen asleep on him, instead, and he hadn’t wanted to wake her by moving. He’d intended to tuck her in before Evan could come home from his shift, but as the familiar sound of keys in the lock turned, and as his partner entered, guilt was clear on his face. “Sorry - I was going to get her to bed, but if I wake her up now she’s going to start a fight about bedtime all over again.” // @xsweetxhallelujah
