Trade Sleeping

"Let's go back inside. It's getting kind of chilly." Logan requested.
"Alright." Janie hugged herself and turned down Logan's jacket offer.
"So are we going to go back to shore?"
"Well, it is an overnight stay so I thought we would sleep out here too. It's nice and peaceful."
Janie started getting anxious. "I noticed there's only one bed though. And is it even safe to be out here at night?"
"Well, I can't guarantee that it's safe but it's not that dangerous. We aren't that far out. And we could share the bed since it's a king size."
"Okay." Janie hesitated.
"I have extra pajamas if you want to change into that."
"Uh, sure." Janie grabbed the t-shirt and shorts. She was glad she brought extra underwear in case she had to change from swimming, but she didn't swim so it was clean.
Logan was already in the bedroom waiting for Janie. But Janie went to the dining room where the couch-like seats were. She laid down and used her dress as a blanket. Logan finally noticed that Janie took too long. He came out of the room. "Did you get lost?"
"Huh? No. I just don't want to bother you. I'm okay sleeping out here."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
Logan went back into the room without a fight.
"He didn't even offer a second time to sleep in the bed. Or trade spots with me." Janie mumbled.
She finally fell asleep to the soft rocking of the boat. Logan was twisting and turning in the room. He couldn't fall asleep knowing Janie was out there. He went back out. "Janie? You could sleep in the bed with me. I won't touch you, because I don't even like you. Janie?"
He went up closer to see that she was fast asleep. "How could she sleep in this position?" He made the decision to trade spots with her. He carried her into the bedroom and tucked her in. He knelt beside the bed and looked at Janie. He smoothed her hair out of her face and left the room to sleep in the dining room.
