64. Nap
Summer 2081

It always embarrasses Louisa to admit that she cannot sleep in a strange bedroom. Ever since she was a kid, she found difficulty sleeping somewhere other than her bedroom.

Even now, at the age of twenty, she lied in bed staring up at the ceiling and listening to Paulie snoring in the bed next to hers. She turns to her side, trying to look at him and wills herself to doze off but it only makes her stay awake for another hour.

Later, she drags her blanket and carefully curls up in the small space beside him. And falls asleep.
