He all but collapsed onto the bed, exhaustion given a solid form. It was late - or should he say early? - and the only thing he now longed for was sleep. Peaceful, thoughtless, wonderful sleep.
From attempts to boycott the Royal wedding to the arrival of guests - many of whom his own friends - to a rather public assassination attempt and back to the party -- Will had been up for most of the past week.

A yawn escaped and he closed his eyes. But before he let himself fall asleep, a wide smile spread over his face.
Yeah, he was tired, very tired, but only because everything else was good. Very good.
