City by the Sea 2

Elijah

I smile and sigh, keeping my eyes closed.

Alexis

I kiss his cheek and reach over to turn the TV on.

Elijah

I smile again and stir, slowly falling asleep.

Alexis

I rest my elbow on the arm rest of the couch. I then ly my head on my hand as he falls asleep. Not wanting to wake him, I turn the TV off and fall asleep myself.

Elijah

I wake the next morning but don't want to get up, staying still.

Alexis

My eyes slowly open and I find Elijah cuddled up to me still. I smile and rub his shoulder.

Elijah

I open my eyes and look at Alexis, yawning.

Alexis

"Are you feeling any better?" I ask.

Elijah

I shrug, "A little."

Alexis

I a mile and kiss hiss forehead. "Better the getting worse." I say.

I get up and get him more of his meds.

Elijah

I smile back and nod, sighing when she leaves.

Alexis

I smile once I return and give him his meds with some juice.

Elijah

I thank her and take the medicine without complaint.

Alexis

"Is there anything I can get for you or anything I can do for you?"

Elijah

I think, "C-can I have some soup?"
