Snoring

Katie tells the story of my falling asleep before anyone else last night, and how both she and her cousin could hear my snores from the other end of the house. Everyone at dinner laughs, including me.

As I lie in bed typing these words, she snores delicately next to me, a rhythmic, droning counterpoint to the crime shows that put her to sleep. The dog whines, digs at the floor for a few minutes, then falls asleep herself.
