Morningside Cuesta sandcastles

Day had been sleeping nearby; he was almost always nearby, these days. Finally, he'd begun to detect subtle changes in her scent, and though they'd not yet talked about it, Day still knew, and still assumed that she knew, because how could she not?

And it worried him more than he'd thought it would. He'd begun to remember all the reasons they shouldn't have done this - that he shouldn't have done this - and it was weighing heavily on his mind. Heavily enough that he was able to push Adeline out of his mind for long periods of time, but not enough that he didn't still dream about her.

And it was after waking from one of these dreams that he paced toward Dawn and Khoe, wondering what they wanted. On the one hand, he was glad to be woken from the nightmare. On the other, he wasn't quite sure he wanted to involve himself in whatever had put those looks on their faces.

"What happened?" he asked, looking uncertainly between the two.
