Maria opened her eyes as Dee leaned over the bed. "Hey," she said somewhat drowsily. "What's up?"

Dee coughed and muttered something about not being able to sleep.

"Me either. Wanna watch TV?"

"No...I think I'm just going to go give it a try again. G'night, Maria."

"Good night, Dee."

It was still a long time before Maria finally fell asleep.
