Chapter 57 The Meeting

• ~RAIN~
• The persistent chime of the doorbell pulled me from a restless slumber. My eyelids fluttered open, the hazy fog of a night without much respite slowly lifting. I shifted slightly, glancing down to find Cody nestled against me, sleeping peacefully, his breathing rhythmic and calm.
• He had not been able to sleep all night and when he finally did, it was in my arms on the couch. Even when the bell continued to ring over and over again, he didn't wake up.
