[There's something extra comforting about Kate bitching at her, but also rubbing her back and leaning in against her--something about affection and negativity all tied up together. It's kind of fucked up, but Johanna likes it, so. Who cares.]
Please. I'm trying to sleep, Katie. Stop trying to distract me.
[ Kate snorts. There is something nice about it, not always but definitely now. It's familiar, an easy rhythm to drop back into, and somehow the negativity itself is affectionate, too. ]
[Maybe it's delirium, maybe a weird premature spill of feelings--whatever it is, Johanna kisses the top of Kate's head. I'll tell you what it's not, though: it's not affectionate. This is a kiss so she shuts up.
