solitary bees, 62

She throws something at him.

He wakes up.

What?

Have you read the princess and the pea?

Yeah. A long time ago.

What did you think about it?

The obvious, I guess.

Don’t say anything sexist.

What did you think about it, other than being taken care of?

Something she couldn’t ignore but something she didn’t feel comfortable about. Something she wanted to have control over or desensitize herself to. Numb the awareness of.

Are you cold? Do you have enough blankets?

That’s exactly the type of thing I’m talking about; but I’m fine actually. Plenty warm up here. A princess on one mattress.

A while later he is snoring.
