Late last night (time unknown), I woke up to see Daniel's head lifted up off the pillow... And a very unusual and very frightening experience began.
-Me: What's wrong?
-Daniel: There is someone in our room. By the foot of the bed.
-Me: Are you serious? (The panic taking over my body because this is actually my worst fear and the very reason I slept with the bedroom door shut and locked all summer.)
-Daniel: Yes. He is holding our ankles.
-Me: Silence. Thinking: I do feel someone holding my ankles!!!
I start moving one of my legs. Daniel grabs it.
-Me: That's my leg.
-Daniel: Oh. Okay.
So it turns out that our feet had gotten tangled at the bottom of the bed. But I really did believe that someone was holding my ankles. And I almost had a heart attack.
-Me: Oh my gosh. I thought someone was actually there!
-Daniel: Oh. Yeah. (Beginning to fall asleep.)
-Me: So what would you have done if there had actually been someone?
-Daniel: I would have kicked them out of bed or something.
-Me: I see.
Thanks Daniel! It was really fun for me after you fell asleep again and I could not. Good times.
