Annie is on her trike on her way to school.
This van labeled HAZARDOUS MATERIALS is also on its way to school.
The van hits a patch of black ice. It goes spinning, it turns over, it slices itself open on a wrought-iron fence with spikes, and it disgorges boxes which smash open on the pavement. Some of them skitter clear into the slush.
Some of them - along with most of the van - land on Annie.
There is a whirl of bewildering pain and confusion -
- and she falls to the ground, injured and in more kinds of discomfort beyond that and moaning.
She slowly starts to heal before the eyes of her sole witness.

Aaaaah but she can't see his face if her face is in a pillow. So unfair.
Well, all of her nerve endings are unimpaired.

...The pillow helps, and her attempts at restraint... would probably be helping if only they weren't so very, very futile under circumstances like "Stalas, existing, touching her".

She seems to be managing to usually bite her tongue before he has to do that. (Every now and then she lifts her head to gasp, on the theory that air is important and she can't possibly gasp loudly enough for anyone to hear through the walls, but promptly stuffs it back against the pillowcase before permitting exhalation.)
...Usually. She usually manages to bite her tongue.

Well, he said he'd interrupt her, so he will. Even though she and her noises are both great.

She quiets when interrupted. And squirms. ...she may be attempting to channel noise-generation into squirming and toe-curling and things like that.

It makes her pretty squirmy because even at full volume she did not hold very still.

She is getting the hang of producing tiny versions of a variety of noises!
first-and-final
Her tiny versions of noises are great and she is great. So great. Stalas is going to marry her and it's great.

They're going to get married and they have the earrings to prove it and delightful premarital relations to make the waiting no hardship and she loves him so so so so so much. Squirm squirm squirm and noises.

Annie thinks her bedmate is what makes this really cozy.
Zzzzzzz.
Zzzzzzz.

And in the morning they can wake up and Annie can get scooped up in a blanket and work on her book all the way home.
