"Yup, whatever you say." Liam replied, grinning.

"Hm, well…" Kase trailed off, feigning thought, before leaning over to kiss Liam's cheek. "I say you need to sleep, and I probably should as well. Nap time for the incapacitated people!"

Liam chuckled, “Alright Alright, nap time it is then.”

"Good choice," Kasey murmured with a chuckle, moving closer to him. She didn't know if he wanted her so close right now, but she would be fine if he didn't.

Liam smiled and wrapped an arm around Kasey before planting a kiss to her head, “Sorry if I do end up getting you sick.”

"It's highly unlikely," Kasey murmured with a smile at the kiss. "I wouldn't worry about it."

“Worrying is ma thing though.” Liam muttered.

"Well, if I'm right next to you, you can stop worrying about my safety, at least," Kasey murmured sleepily.

“Hm… I guess that’s true.” Lima said before yawning.

(All this talk about yawning… Dang, I yawned…)

"Sleep now? Or are we going to continue chatting?" Kasey asked. "Not that I mind it. Just curious."

(Aha, lol)

Liam shrugged, “Whatever you wanna do babe is fine by me…” He muttered.

"You're not helpful," Kasey complained with a soft laugh.

“I know I’m not.” Liam replied, smiling.

"Well, if we did what I want to do, you probably wouldn't enjoy it right now, so I vote sleep," Kasey murmured.

“Sleep it is then.” Liam said, giving Kasey another kiss to the cheek.

Kasey grinned and hummed in agreement.

A while later, Kasey gasped, shooting up into a sitting position. The nightmares had come again.

Liam blinked his eyes open when he felt Kasey sit up and looked confused as to why she looked scared.

"Kasey? Are you okay, what's the matter?"

Kasey wanted to squeeze her eyes shut, but if she did that then the dreams, the memories, would come back. She tried to calm her breathing a bit.

"It's nothing. I'm okay," she whispered.

"No, you're not. You had a nightmare, didn't you? And please don't lie, you don't have to tell me what it was just… did you or did you not?" Liam asked gently, rubbing circles on Kasey's back.

Reluctantly, Kasey nodded. She laid back down and stared up at the ceiling with a quiet sigh.

"I'm sick of them," she said, her voice thick with emotion.

Liam looked down at her and gave her an understanding smile, "I know. Tru- Yeah… they suck."

Kasey glanced over when he cut himself off. She frowned a bit before looking back up at the ceiling. If he wanted to tell her, he would.

"What are you frowning at?" Liam asked, rubbing at his face a little.

Kasey shrugged.

"Just wondering why you cut yourself off is all," she admitted.

"I-I was gonna say 'trust me' but decided against it." Liam admitted, shrugging a shoulder and looking away.

"Oh…" Kasey whispered, wincing. "Sorry…"

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Liam replied, looking back at Kasey.

(I've gtg to sleep… I'll try to be back in a few hours.)

"Yes, I do," Kasey argued, still whispering. "For not trusting you. For letting Matt get in my head."

(Alright, sleep well)

"I'm a damned reporter, you don't have to trust me if you don't want to!" Liam said rubbing his face.

(Thanks.)

Kasey flinched at his words. She sat up again and looked across the room before twisting her upper body to face Liam.

"You don't get it. It's not that I don't want to trust you, Liam, it's that I desperately do want to trust you," she whispered, looking a little hurt.
