The girls had struggled to stay awake as they rode on Ivy's mare. As they entered the manor and climbed to their bedroom, they had fought for each step. But now that Ivy was in bed, her clothes shed from her body, she felt very much awake. The exhaustion was still there, but there was also an excitement that she couldn't name. It was like a dream...the twilight between sleep and consciousness.<br/><br/>"Your hand feels so nice," she answered back mutely. "A lot. Yes. We have been through a lot, haven't we? The soldiers...on the road. The small lake and the cave that...monster." Ivy could feel goosebumps radiating out from where Imogene touched her. Her eyes closed for a few moments, but then she shook her head, dispelling the oncoming sleep.<br/><br/>Ivy turned and crawled into the over-sized bed beside her best friend. "That feels so nice. Like when Estelle taught me about kisses," she murmured sleepily, moving in close to Imogene.
