gratefully he threw her a curve

she didnt want anything beside her head as she was falling asleep

she didnt like pillows towels anything against the side of her face

her head laid on a marooncoloured UGG blanket

she liked it well enough

her head would roll roll rollright

she had to sleep sitting up for now

congestion in her lungs forbid her from lying flat she chokedcouldnt breathe

falling asleep rather catnapping her head rolled rightshed wake turn her head roll it left

on and on and on shed roll roll roll her head right and left  

she looked uncomfortable 

she didnt open her eyes

she was driving him nuts  driving herself nuts

he sat beside her in a ladderback chair he needed to be as uncomfortable as possible it was his watch

hed fix her wagon 

shed get some sleep if it killed him

he rolled up a pillowcase

semiconscious she rolled her head left

quicklystealthily he slipped the rolled pillowcase under the UGG created a bumper 

her head rolled right again

her cheektemple rolled against it

she nuzzled the UGG

her breathing deepened

intently he watched

she slept   

she slept for better than forty minutes not once rolling or rocking her head

actual sleep 

when she woke

unlike other times

she didnt awake with a start a panic

forty minutes

forty minutes

he was grateful
