Mei's fingers paused on the keyboard. She wasn't sure whether she should say it or not.
Otis asked,
"What about you? Are you having trouble sleeping?"
In truth, after talking with Otis, Mei wasn't suffering from insomnia at all anymore.
But she still replied,
"A little…"
Both of them had a small flame of feeling flickering inside, yet both hesitated, unsure how to continue.
Otis said,
"Do you remember the old method?"
"What method?"
"Listening to music…"
"Ah… that might help."
"If you can't sleep either… do you want to listen together?"
"! Yes… that sounds good! Yes, yes!"
Mei answered very quickly, then added,
"Wait for me to shower first! I just finished cleaning!"
Otis replied with a very serious,
"Okay."
He sat on the bed with his head resting against his drawn-up knees, taking a deep breath as he tried to calm his racing heart.
This is great… he thought.
The truth was, listening to music would only make it harder for him to sleep.
