peggy waits, stilled, while he's got his hand on her. but when he slips asleep she nudges his touch aside and finishes the work of removing his second boot. both get tucked gently under the bed -- where they should be. and once upon a time he rubbed comfort and relief back into her body with just a bit of attention paid to the bottoms of her feet.
she recreates that moment now from the other side. it's silly, she thinks. and so terribly outside of her usual behaviour. peggy doesn't give in to hugs all that easy, let alone foot rubs. but it's an easy price to pay to watch his breath even out and sleep take him over.
and, in the end, she lets him for for an hour and three quarters. all's fair in love and nursing. ]
