Chapter 35 Overtime Together

• Outside, snowflakes began to fall gently, adding beauty to the late night. Inside, the silence of the room was only broken by the ticking of the clock and Emily's soft snoring.
• With orderly movements, Daniel began to reorganize the stack of documents they had studied together. He turned off the computer and let the light of the desk lamp be the only source of illumination.
• While Daniel moved quietly, the sound of his footsteps triggered a response in Emily's subconscious. In her deep sleep, she felt the subtle vibrations and her body reacted instinctively. Her head that had been comfortably resting on her own shoulders began to lose its balance. Her head shifted to the side, slowly tilting and almost falling from its original position.
