[Chase is a talented sleeper. Like a cat, he can catch quick naps in the least comfortable places. Training. But the same training means that he's not a deep sleeper. Even when he's not waiting for the alarm of a beeper. Even when it's 3am and his brain has slipped finally into that furthest reach of unconsciousness.
But it's a slow drag to get back to the surface. It starts with the flick of his fingers, then he lifts his hand and brushes against whatever tickles on his face, as if scooting off an insect.
A quick intake of breath, a low murmur, and he catches her wrist.]
so sorry for such a delay
