sleeping girl

I knew exactly where to nudge the door to open it without creaking.
My girlfriend lay sleeping; eyes twitching as if she were staring directly into the sun. I can always tell when she’s faking, because she squeezes her eyes with such conviction that her crows-feet transform her into a woman 10 years her senior. But tonight she is really sleeping- so I tiptoe.
