WIP Wednesday

Another snippet from "a shame without a sin" as soon I'm moving and getting a new job, so I'd like to get this one finished before I go on a bit of a writing hiatus for awhile.

“You were…” Rachel flips on the lamp on her nightstand. The sudden light makes him blink away sunspots. “Talking. In your sleep.” Oh. Oh no. “Huh.” “You kept saying ‘shut up’. Were you talking to someone?” He manages a shrug. “I don’t remember.” “Was it your father?” “I said I don’t remember.” He grumbles. “Let’s just try to get back to sleep, okay? I’m sorry I woke you up.” A deep, world-weary sigh. “No you’re not.” Rachel asks. “You’ll stay in bed but you won’t sleep, or you’ll start working, or whatever else it is you do, and then you’re spacey and irritable to everyone who isn’t me, the girls or a jury, and all the while you’ll just insist that everything’s fine.” He blinks. “Who says I’m ‘irritable’?” “Saccharine, Spicer, every single one of our coworkers. A handful of judges, the pretzel guy–” “Alright, alright. I get the picture.” He rubs a hand over his face.
