Silently watching Isaac disappear behind the door, Hayley smiled and, before departing for her own room, replied, "No worries. Rest well." Finally shutting the door to her bedroom, she yawned and threw herself onto the bed, propping herself up for a good sleep. She gazed at the wall beside her, knowing that Isaac was now sleeping in the room next to hers. Her mind flew back again to the moment they first met and a small smile creased her relaxed face. While she was uncertain about how things would go from now on, she was prepared for things to come.

[i]Yup, it's worth it[/i], Hayley thought as she closed her eyes, curled up and allowed her consciousness to drift into the quiet night.
