Night closes in... She's been sitting to long.. today, yesterday.. Too many things going on that require her to watch, look, read, see. Not to mention those things she has no control over, but are there, hanging.
She's not really sure that she is a night person, she doesn't really like the dark but she has always stayed up later than the rest. Maybe it's the quiet of the house, and the silence outside the doors that keep her up. And while she loves the warmth of the sun and sea on her skin, it's the night, wrapped in comforting darkness that seems to draw her in.
It's also the time, once she has shut her computer down and done her nightly routine... that she finally finds herself lying on her left side, with a pillow in the crook of her neck, another pushed into her back for support and one to her front, pushed close, with an arm hugging it and a leg wrapped around it, as if holding on for dear life.. Relaxed to a point, It is then that her mind wanders and goes places it likely shouldn't. eye's closed.. dreams don't come but wishes and hopes seem to scroll through her mind until she tells them to stop. in some cases, the dreams, that are an integral part of a good night sleep, never come..
it is still dark and comforting and quite and eventually.. she sleeps.
