This chapter is dedicated to @Josefina_Kearns! Thank you so much for the supergift! 

Alicia stilled for a moment. She did not expect to be placed in this position. That he would make her use his lap as her pillow this time. And the warmth of his touches, his large palm covering her eyes like an eye mask and his lap serving as her pillow, all these temporarily distracted her from the thoughts that were buzzing busily around in her head.

She lifted her hand and placed it over his that was covering her eyes. "I don't want to sleep. And you're obviously not alright. You're hungry." She declared gently, deciding to not talk about what she badly wanted to talk about for now. It was fine if she changed the topic for now.
