[Man, he knows he's actually tired when that nibble doesn't go straight to his groin. It's probably for the best. They can sleep, get a nice recharge, let her rest up before they take on whatever madness the day is bound to bring.
He's not sure when he finally drifts off to sleep, but it does happen. He falls into that same space he'd been on toward the end of the drive, not dreaming, simply existing in darkness. That infinite black is less disturbing now than it once was. Not comforting, but less likely to leave him gasping for breath as if he's drowning in it.
There's a tremendous, earth-shaking rumble that snaps him out of it and he sits bolt upright, alert - wait, no. That's just someone pushing a heavy cleaning cart down the hall. Shit. He rubs at his eyes, sweeping hair out of them, then looks at the slick black digital alarm clock next to the bed. Noon, or just past it, anyway. Good enough, time to get up and get dressed. Quietly, in case Chrissy is still asleep, or wants to get back to it - because he's pretty sure that his sudden movement must have woken her up.]
