i could be the reason you can't sleep at night
Flora snuggles in closer, feeling Jack's arm wrap around her, the warmth of his hand over hers a gentle reassurance that eases something tight in her chest. She lets her body melt into his side, exhaustion seeping out of her in slow, steady waves as she relaxes, her cheek resting against his shoulder.
"Maybe we should both try and get some sleep," she whispers, her voice barely more than a murmur, the words soft and drowsy. The idea of rest rather then mere unconsciousness feels almost foreign after everything she's been through, but with Jack warm and real against her and the steady thrum of his heartbeat beneath her palm, it feels like something she might be able to manage.
"Just for a little while," The Doubletake adds, her eyes already drifting closed, her fingers curling gently against his his. Of course she could have placed the ring onto Jack's finger so that it could continue to bleed its power into him as they slept, but given that she had absolutely no intention of releasing him for the next several hours, she didn't feel the need to fuss.
