When Ilene finally got to bed and was able to close her eyes it was way too late for her, she expected that her sleep would only last for a few hours and that dawn wasn’t too far away. Everyone had been at sleep though so she hadn’t been forced to answer any questions about her evening, but then she usually didn’t come home until very late when she was out with “the girls” as her brothers call their gathering. She fell to sleep just a few moments later and slept a heavy dreamless sleep.<br/><br/>When she awoke again the sun was already up and she could hear movement in the kitchen, they had actually let her sleep in and for that she was very grateful. She wondered who else among them had have that luxury. Slowly she rose from her bed, pulled on her normal dress, combed her hair and then moved to the kitchen where the rest of her family already sat eating.<br/>
