Chapitre 45: Won't Sleep

When Emily had finally put her things away and laid down, Derek had felt like cheering like a soccer fan whose team had just scored a goal after and entire season of being goalless. And then when her breathing had evened out, and she had begun snoring lightly he had felt like screaming at the top of his lungs in triumph.

Finally! Finally! Asleep at last, asleep at last.

He had been beginning to wonder if she was even human. She had shown no signs of fatigue prior to her just laying down and sleeping. And with every second that had passed, Derek's worry that the secret of his insomnia would be found out by his PA had increased. But wonder of wonders, just as he had seriously started to consider going out into the dangerous night, she had finally cracked and decided to sleep.

'I have set the alarm for eight in the morning' She had said, no doubt wanting to let him know how many hours of sleep he would get.
