Way Early Tuesday Morning; 518/520

They had all been too tired to really talk much after Cole brought them back to the dorms from where they had tracked her down at Selkie Cove. So after getting in, they had pretty much collapsed in the aftermath of an emotionally intense day.

However, Phoebe couldn't sleep, and so, when she was almost positive the guys were sleeping, she had slipped from the bed and left the room.

She paced a little bit, and then she had curled up on the couch with her notebook for her workshop on Thursday.

However, she was spending more time staring down at the floor than reading.

Bel woke up at Phoebe's movements. He waited awhile to give her some privacy, then left the bed to head out to the couch. "Hey, sweetheart," he said, settling beside her.

Phoebe blushed again. She hadn't exactly thought about how she was going to bring this up.

"I'm not fragile or made of glass, Cole," she finally said. "You don't always have to be so careful when you touch me... or when you kiss me... or when we're in bed..." She turned even redder. "There was a time that when you felt like it, you would just grab me and kiss me." She touched his face. "It seems that ever since you... we... you came back... you're very careful with how you handle me."
