A Necklace of Water
“Half awake, I couldn’t see the moon out my window, which meant it was after 3 a.m. Then I realized that it was amazing that I even knew that and marveled sleepily to myself.
So after three but before dawn. I snuggled down into my pillow, already slipping back into my dream. I didn’t know why I’d woken up. I was so tired, and this was so delicious, this almost-asleep feeling. It felt incredibly good, and— Clio was awake.
