Had sleep given up on her, or had she given up on sleep?  Blinking blearily at the night-stand clock (a somewhat uncomfortable 3:22 AM), it wasn’t an easy call to make.  When was the last time she’d fallen asleep quickly and stayed so the whole night through?  If there had ever been a time for such normalcy in her life, she certainly couldn’t remember it now.

Her only consolation in all the insanity came in the form of a too-proud knight, who was currently curled up beside her, snoring lightly.  Of all the men to fall for... why him?
