Bearclaw Valley Sleep with one eye open, clutching your pillow tight

Last one from me! I enjoyed this thread. Thanks! :)

As his voice floated over the night air, she felt her muscles relax. The cool air wafted in, and she shivered slightly, yet her trembling was assuaged. His heart beat was calming, a lullaby in itself. The strange language was beautiful, and she yearned to speak it herself one day. 
He began rocking, and she snuggled closer, her eyelids fluttering. Forcing them to stay open for a moment, they drifted shut as he began to croon the words she understood. She sighed softly, enjoying these few peaceful moments before the darkness of sleep claimed her mind. As her breath evened out, the last few notes hung on the air, the melody's sweet ending the last thing she heard before drifting off.
