"What time is it?"

Everytime I woke up during the night, I'd look over at the clock and mumble "What time is it?" Sometimes Miguel would wake up too and read the clock for me. Other times, I had to squint and strain to see. I was certain that I had only slept 15 minutes since the last time I woke and that Angie surely would be calling out for me soon. But each time, it was hours later, until finally, it was 6:00 and Miguel was getting up to go to work. She slept through the night, the whole night, from 7:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. with a minor awakening around 4:30 a.m. when Miguel disturbed her by going to check on her. Then, she slept with me in bed for another hour and a half and finally, we wakened slowly, rising at 8:00. What a beautiful night!
