I finish drying the glasses and walk out of the kitchen past the two of them and just look quickly and say goodnight, but even quicker, I can swear Yan is biting back a smile as he says goodnight back, and I want to disappear now.
...
I wake up, look to the side and see that Matt is fast asleep. I am thirsty and get up to get some water in the kitchen. I'm hungry too, so I determine what to do. I turn on the hallway lights that also turn on the living room lights.
I walk slowly so as not to wake anyone up. Furthermore, I pass by Yan's bedroom door and take a deep breath, I'll have to face him sooner or later and I know he'll have that smile again, the one he always has when he baffles me. We should have arranged for him to stop teasing me in that agreement of ours as well.
