Lynna yawned and sat up slowly, stretching. "Earth is cold," she mumbled sleepily. Then she noticed Charlie next to her and stared in shock. "Charlie? What are you doing here?" She forgot to be quiet in her surprise, and the words came out rather loudly in the quiet cave.
Jonah woke with a start and groaned unhappily. What a way to start the morning. He opened his eyes and found himself looking right at Misty. He froze. She was scant inches away. He could feel her body heat.
