"Best pillow," Abby murmured, finishing off as much of the food as she could manage for the moment. Once she was done, she made a motion to kick the tray to the bottom of the bed so she wouldn't accidentally turn it over and then lay back down to rest. As much as she didn't want to, she knew she needed to at least lie down a little more.

Curled up on the pillows, she watched him, hoping he would stay with her on the bed, at least for a little bit. For a few minutes, she could be selfish. If she'd known what he was thinking, she would be more than willing to encourage his thoughts. She liked the idea of marrying him someday, too.

"I guess you have a lot to do today, now that I've had food."
