My phone pings, the high pitch noise disturbing my peaceful sleep. With a groan, I roll over, ignoring the offensive object on my nightstand.

Jace: Lex, you awake?
I should've known.
Alexis: Am now.
Jace: I can't sleep. Talk to me.
Alexis: It's 2 am.
Jace: Your point?
Alexis: You should be asleep dreaming about...whatever it is you dream about.

Jace: No games then.
Alexis: ?
Jace: What do you dream about?
You.
Alexis: I don't.
Jace: Bullshit. You were dreaming when you slept over here.
