This used to be an uncommon sight. Gabriel had strict self-discipline, always, about working productively when he was working, and setting it aside when he wasn't.
And he still has strict self-discipline -- far stricter than Regan would like, especially on days when he struggles to get out of bed (and sometimes fails, for a time), and days when she can practically see him telling himself no one can tell how much he's leaning on his cane. But all the same...
It's not an uncommon sight any more.
And not for the world would Regan wake him.
She pauses in the doorway, and her lips press together just for a moment. A moment is all she allows herself.
