Poppy POV

-I think I'm going to sleep standing up! Said Branch stretching. 

They were back from the river, the sun was almost sunset. 

-Start eating something, said Poppy, throwing an apple at her, you have not eaten since this morning! 

He took a bite and sat at the table with Poppy. 

-You have not eaten since this morning, am I wrong? Poppy nodded to approve, Branch gave her her apple 

-Thank you... 

 Once she is finished eating, she goes to put on pajamas. When she returned, Branch had fallen asleep on the couch. She laughed and shook her shoulder. 

Hmm ... 

-You will not sleep there I hope?

 -Hmmm ... 

 he rose and asked him: 

 -Do you want me to sleep or? 

 -Take my bed, I'll take the couch. 

 -What? out of the question, you sleep in your bed! 

 -You just woke up from a coma of three months, you deserve that I leave you my bed! 

 -If we both took your bed? suggested Branch. she felt herself blush but accepted her offer. 

Branch took the bottom and Poppy went to bed with him. he had a minute's silence and Branch said. 

 -Everything is so strange, before I ... fall asleep ... I will never have imagined it possible ... 

 -What possible? Poppy asked 

 -Being alone here with you ... just both 

 -Good night Branchie, murmured you she smiling at him 

 -Good night my baby cupcake, Branch laughed.  

the gray troll closed his eyes and fell asleep.

 "But we're not only two ... we're three ..." Poppy thought sadly as she rubbed her belly
