River and I don’t get a chance to say or do much together, aside from float from group to group as we schmooze a little. Claudia lets us know that we’re trending on Twitter, and mostly spends the night networking with brief updates in between.

Seems like our first outing was a success.

Claudia and Keith get a ride home with one of the other partners in their firm, leaving me and River alone in the limo. It’s late and I’m a little buzzed from the champagne and tired from the day-long flurry of activity. I fall asleep shortly after we leave the restaurant, and wake up with my head on River’s shoulder.

“Hey,” he says quietly, like his normal voice is too loud for me at the moment. “We’re home.”

“My home?” I ask, totally not with it.

His chest rumbles. “Yes, your home.”

He opens the door and I drowsily scoot to the edge of the seat. I take his hand and use his weight for leverage as I hoist myself out, but my body is just so exhausted. My stomach flips as he lifts me up and carries me to the front door.

“Can I get the key out of your purse?” he asks, still a gentleman when I’m passed out on his shoulder.

“Mmm-hmm.” I make a move to help him, but I’m much too slow. He manages anyway, and I give him half-slurred instructions on where my bedroom is. He flicks on the light and I squint against its brightness.

“Sorry,” he whispers.

“S’okay.”

“Do you want to put on some pajamas?”

“No,” I mumble. “Comfy like this. Those elephant marshmallows are nice.”

I think I make out a quiet laugh, but I’m not totally sure. “They are.”

There’s a little rustling, and then I’m away from the warmth, but tucked into pillowy softness.

“Thank you,” I say, hoping someone’s around to hear it.

There’s a dip in the bed, and my hair gets brushed away from my face. A soft kiss on my forehead followed by stubble.

“Goodnight, Skye,” he whispers.

I drift off into sweet dreams.
