Elissa asked Raphael to go to sleep after a while because he had work the next day.

Softly, she told him, “You should sleep now.

I’ll just sit here for a little bit.”

Raphael refused to leave her alone, leaning against the headboard and holding her in his arms.

Elissa quickly threw on some clothes and went out.
