DMC V

V sat on the bed by the light of the dim night-light and ran his fingers over the rough pages, following his gaze. He'd woken up in the middle of the night, nearly falling out of bed. Such a real vision of the night garden outside the house had dissipated, and the female voice that had been reading him a story from his book before had fallen silent...

It was so real that now V could not escape the feeling that Eva was about to enter his room, sit down on a slumped chair and ruffle his hair, putting him to sleep again...

And indeed - the door opened. V disengaged from reading, for a moment believing in a miracle, but in the doorway stood sleepy and dissatisfied you.

The guy at first wanted to just calm you down by telling you that he was already going to bed, but apparently sleep hadn't completely left his mind yet, and as soon as he opened his mouth, instead of a simple "don't worry, I'm already going to sleep," came out:

"Please, read to me."
