This time it wasn't Andy who made their way up from the hallway that contained the bedrooms. Nicky had always been a light sleeper, and over the years that had turned into being something a troubled sleeper. Even with Joe's arms wrapped around him, sometimes his mind went to places that left him cold and nauseous.
So, he carefully crawled out of bed, making sure that Joe was curled around Andy and that they were both asleep before he made his way out of the bedroom. His intent was to get a glass of water from the kitchen and maybe something sweet to nibble on. Instead, he stopped next to Booker's elbow and picked up the half bottle from the table.
"You should be asleep with us, not out here alone."
There was no force in his words, however, and he lifted that bottle to his lips, draining it neatly.
