TWENTY THREE: Between Us

"C-can you scoot over a bit?"

Kel cringed as she felt Dash's leg brush against hers.

Her bed was tiny. Way too tiny for two grown adults to be sharing.

Fortunately, however, after moving around a few old boxes, she was able to make enough room for one adult to lay comfortably on the floor. It was the perfect solution to avoid uncomfortable bed sharing.

So, why were they both crammed onto her tiny bed now?

"Sorry," Dash hissed in reply, obediently wiggling another inch away from Kel. "It seemed like you were having a bad dream, so I only wanted  to help you calm down."

"Oh," Kel replied, awkwardly squirming even closer to the edge of the straw-stuffed mattress. "Sorry.. Did I wake you up?"

"Don't worry about that," Dash sighed, placing a reassuring hand on Kel's shoulder before adding quietly, "You don't need to be so afraid of me. I won't hurt you, you know."
