Scott yawned widely and stretched as he headed back to the stairs. He'd met his brothers on their way back from escorting Heather and Nikki, and they'd said a last goodnight to each other. Elise had responded to him in monosyllables on the way to the elevator, and he'd thought briefly about accompanying her all the way back to her apartment. But when the elevator door opened, she stopped long enough to say, "Goodnight, Scott," then stepped inside and was gone.

Before he could turn the first corner, he was surprised to see his father at the door to the sick room, dressed in pajamas and robe, pillow in hand. Jeff was using his master key to open the door.

"Hey, Dad."

Jeff looked up, startled. "Oh, hey there, Scott. Party over yet?"

"Yeah, we've just wrapped it up." Scott gave his father a puzzled frown. "What's up with you?"

Jeff sighed. "I couldn't sleep. Thought I'd come down here and keep Dianne company for the rest of the night." He smiled a little. "We may not be able to actually sleep in the same bed, but her presence is still soothing. She did it for me when I was stuck down here."

"Oh. I didn't know that."

The door slid open. A dull glow lit the interior of the room; a low light shone so Dianne could see if she needed to. A soft, rhythmic beeping could be heard. "I'd better go, son. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Dad. Sleep well."

"You too, Scott."

Jeff disappeared inside the sick room, and Scott shrugged, then continued on his way. He intended to check on Virgil first, then get to bed himself.

Once inside, Jeff moved to the empty bed. He put his pillow on it, and removed the pillow that was already there. Then, he put down the rails on one side of Dianne's bed, and on both sides of his. He pushed the empty bed next to hers, and climbed in. It was awkward leaning over to kiss her; her healing ribs required her to sleep reclined instead of supine. But he bussed her forehead and her cheek. She sighed slightly and turned her head toward him. He smiled, pulled his blankets up, then reached out to take her hand in his before closing his eyes and drifting off.
