Samara
Movie night was much needed. Slade stayed attached to Roman like he was a suckerfish until he finally fell asleep and Sloane was nearly the same with me. She pressed her body so close to mine that I’m pretty sure air molecules couldn’t pass between us.
But they needed it. It was important. And while it didn’t seem like Sloane was really watching the movie, I kept an arm wrapped around her, alternating between hugging her and rubbing her head while we ate popcorn and drank sodas.
Pierce kept up a low-level purr to help Slade relax and even after he fell asleep, Roman continued to rub his back and Pierce continued to purr at him.
Sloane fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. Since she also seemed restless even in sleep, Roman and I stayed on the couch long after the movie ended
