The last two days before the exams are spent in the most intensive cramming he's ever done in his life. Kaylee makes him stop periodically: to eat, to sleep, to take a break before his eyes fall out of his head. He grumbles about that being physiologically unlikely, but doesn't argue

Kaylee isn't.

She did try to get up and do things. She made Simon eat breakfast and sent him off. She cleaned up. She cleaned the kitchen. Straightened the living room. Settled in to do a load of laundry. Watched a vid.

By early that afternoon she was fast asleep on the couch.

Late that afternoon, she moved to the bed. She hasn't stirred since.

He stands in the bedroom door for a few moments, watching her.

And then carefully sets down his briefcase, shuffles toward the bed, and more or less collapses onto it.

He manages to unfasten and remove one shoe before falling asleep.

Half-awake, Kaylee shifts, moving closer, draping an arm over his chest.

"Simon."

Mumbled, as she pushes herself up on an elbow. "Simon. You need to -- eat somethin'."

"Mnn," he protests, eloquently.
