He found the vest but dropped it three times before he managed to pick it up. The sun accentuated the bare hip and did nothing to drown out the moan. He put the vest on backwards, then inside-out, then finally managed it, musing that next time he saw Sapphy, he'd just rip off his shirt...and with his luck, she wouldn't even notice.

"So. I'll see you later. Sleep well." He was talking to the door, because otherwise, he'd end up talking to the hip.

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

"You too," he said, before realizing that he'd just told her to sleep safely in a bed. Well, it was Brooklyn.

But with a visible effort, he composed himself enough to turn back to her and say, "Thanks. For coming to see me. It was...I would not have been okay if you hadn't."

Sapphy raised up slightly, looking Race over. She felt... Wanted. And it felt nice.

"All you ever have to do is ask, Race," she said softly before lowering her head back down into the pillow. But she was still looking at him.

He smiled a bit uncertainly. "I'll give Rae your love," he said, picking up his hat and heading for the door.

"Please, yes," she said, voice already drifting as she fell back into a heavy sleep.
