[i'm so tired but i can't sleep standin' on the edge of something much too deep]
It's still very early when Bill finds himself awake again. Kate's asleep, curled on her side and doesn't seem to be sleeping very well.
Frowning to himself he gets up. Slowly. He's stiff and sore and has to suck in a breath to stifle a groan when he rises from the bed.
Shuffling around the suite he heads to the bathroom and stares at himself and the lack of bruises in the mirror for a few long minutes before leaving.
He's hungry, and his body feels drained and overtaxed so he moves on to the kitchen where he sits at the table with a bowl of plain cornflakes. He just needs something in his stomach, and he needs to think. There's so much mess to sort through right now, and on top it all his failures are staring him straight in the face.

He watches her go back to the bed, then works on finishing his breakfast.
Cleaning the plate takes some time, he's hungry, but also tired. When he's done eating, he looks towards the bed and Kate, hearing her soft request.
Dropping the dirty dishes into the sink he checks the door to the suite first, then checks on Boo, and finally he carefully settles on his side of the bed.

God, I'm glad you're here.

Accepting her hand, he squeezes her fingers gently.
I love you, Kate.
There's still so much left on his mind, problems, fears and doubts, but her touch and his body's lack of strength, is enough to help him shift focus off of that. His thoughts quiet for the time being, and he slips quickly into sleep.

I love you so much.
Pushing away thoughts of blood and bruises and slitted yellow eyes, she concentrates on the sound of Bill's breathing and the warmth of his skin against hers.
Exhaustion wars with uncertainty until her fingers loosen and she falls into a dreamless sleep, curled on her stomach beside him.
