I MUST BE STARING AT the ceiling for a while because sunlight has long since crawled across it and settled into place. I on the other hand could not be more unsettled. Silently counting my breaths, I force myself to stay still, feeling the sleepy heaviness of my limbs. I’m a thousand well-loved, exhausted pounds.

If I convince myself I’m heavy enough, I’ll continue to stay right where I am. I’ll even fall back asleep. I can transport myself right back here, but twelve hours earlier when things were simpler. When my head was blissfully quiet.

Nice and quiet. Peaceful sleep.

Why the hell did I have to wake up first and be stuck with my thoughts? I suppose I could kick Logan out of my room, assuming he’s in there with Natalie.

Of course he is. They totally made up last night. Probably more.

I look over at Caleb and glare at his unaware, peaceful visage. Not that if he were awake would he be anxious or awkward about the morning after. He’d probably roll right on top of me and continue last night’s activities. Easy going asshole.

“Bell,” Caleb murmurs, and my eyes fly to his face in shock. His eyes are still closed and I wonder if I imagine him saying my name. Oh! He could have said it in his sleep. Aw, cute.

I turn fully on my side and scoot closer to listen better when he turns his head to me, blinking sleepily.

“Morning,” I whisper nervously.

“I notice you left out the word ‘good’ in that greeting. Does that mean it’s not a good morning for you?” His tone is light, but I can tell he’s serious.

I stare unblinkingly like a total freak and shake my head slightly.

“Stop worrying so much. Your overthinking woke me up.” He yawns and stretches, nearly knocking me in the face. Instantly annoyed that all his apprehension from less than a minute ago appears to be gone, I glare while he settles back into his pillows. How does he do that?

“I can’t help it!” I yank the covers over my head.

Caleb joins me underneath, refusing to let me hide. “There is a certain amount of worrying that is productive. The rest is useless rumination that will drive you insane or work you up so much you have an attack.”

“How do I know when I’ve worried enough?” I challenge, as if there is some way to tell.

Caleb shrugs and kisses me quickly. “That part I don’t know. My guess would be acknowledging your feelings; ask yourself if you have any control of the situation. If you do, then do something and stop worrying. If you don’t, then stop worrying because whatever happens is going to whether you stress about it or not. But I can bet you’d rather be ready for whatever it is instead of panicking.”

“You make it sound so simple,” I pout.

“It’s not simple, you’ll have to work at it. But shit, Bell, who has a better work ethic?” He smiles and whips the sheets off of us.
