Intro: Bedtime stories
You still up? Yeah, no I wasn’t waiting up. I just wanted to make sure you got home okay.
(sigh) Long day? Yeah, I can tell. It’s just one of those days I guess.
Well, at least you’re safe now. You don’t have to pretend anymore. You can just… be yourself.
A story? Aren’t you a little too old for bedtime stories?
Okay. Well if it’ll help you sleep, I’m sure I can think of something. Okay.
Why don’t you close your eyes. Feel your body sink deeper and deeper into your bed.
Listen to the sound of my voice as you breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in. Breathe out. That’s it.
These are the stories that I wish you heard.
