Zhenya

The day was too long. You and your business partner have been sitting in the office for several hours, going through documents and discussing a new project.

It had long since gotten dark outside, and only the soft light of the desk lamp remained in the office.

• We need to finish this today.

“He said quietly, looking through the papers. You nodded, although your eyes were already starting to close.

At first, you simply leaned against the back of the sofa next to him... then, imperceptibly, you leaned closer. And she didn’t even notice how she fell asleep, resting her head on his shoulder.

He froze when he felt it. For a few seconds he just sat there motionless, as if he was afraid to move and wake you up. You breathed quietly in your sleep, burying your face in his shoulder.

He sighed slowly, put the documents aside and looked at you cautiously.

• Tired…

— he muttered quietly. After a moment, he gently put his arm around your shoulders to make you more comfortable and pulled you slightly closer. When you stirred a little in your sleep, he chuckled softly and said almost in a whisper:

• You know... if I had known that you would fall asleep on my shoulder, I would have suggested working late a long time ago.
