“Come on.” He pulled me up. “You’re about to fall asleep on your feet.”
Mina whimpered as my grip on her tightened so I wouldn’t drop her. “Sorry, pup. Can she sleep with us?”
“Yes. It’s good for both of you to stay in close proximity.”
“Uh…” What had I missed when I hadn’t been paying attention? “All right. Let’s go.”
Adam’s movements were lethargic, indicating dawn was even closer than we’d thought.
“Get in bed. I’ll be right with you.” I made sure the door to the dining room was closed, and then brought Mina’s crate into the bedroom, put it in a spot where I wouldn’t trip over it, and laid her in it. She raised her head and blinked sleepily. A wide, puppy yawn, a lick of my fingers, and her head was down and she was out.
My room was like a cozy den now. I stripped off my jeans, drew on a pair of sleep pants, and got under the covers with Adam.
