Dwight had just managed to calm Rachel down and sneak back home He still had to leave but only in the morning There was a bit of time left
Go back to sleep Dwight said softly I ll leave after you re asleep
Halsey moved aside patting the space beside her Then come lie next tome It swarm in here
Dwight climbed into bed lying beside Halsey
Her soft delicate body pressed against his her small head resting on his arm while her wide dark eyes gazed up at him
A wave of warmth washed over Dwight He pulled Halsey into his embrace holding her close
As they settled together Dwight glanced at Madeline who was sleeping soundly in the other part of the bed She had been fast asleep since the night began
When did Maddy fall asleep Dwight asked quietly
She went to sleep around 10 00 PM Before that she was cramming for her exams Her midterms start tomorrow three days of testing I ll take her to the exam hall in the morning so don t worry about it
Halsey spoke calmly reassuring him that everything was under control
A small smile tugged at the corners of Dwight slips The scene before him felt like something out of the past his parents time Herman used to handle the outside world while Tina took care of everything at home Herman was always busy so Tina made sure the house was in order
But Halsey wasn t obligated to do this for Dwight
He couldn t step away from his circumstances right now but Halsey had always been there for him
Dwight looked at her his voice low Halsey I
Halsey placed her hand gently over his lips
S hh I ve heard enough thanks already Don t say anything more Everything Ido for you is because I want to And besides Maddy is so smart I m sure in ten years she ll be successful and I ll get to share in that success It san investment really
Halsey s eyes sparkled as she smiled
Dwight tightened his arms around her pulling her closer He leaned down and kissed the top of her head his voice soft You re right
At that moment Halsey tugged a this shirt like a little puppy sniffing at him
