You have been seeing your boyfriend for almost a year now and just recently you’ve started letting him stay the night on weekends. Despite him taking an immediate shine to your 6 year old, you still felt the anxiety that comes with trusting ‘new’ people around your child. The first night he stayed over, you lay awake all night worrying and then hating yourself for worrying so much when he’s never been anything but trustworthy. Tonight though, you’re nearly asleep on your feet, and ‘adult playtime’ is the furthest thing from your mind. Ever understanding, he has you get your shower first, and by the time he’s showered and headed to bed, you’re already passed out. So passed out in fact, that you don’t hear the door creak open at 2AM, and the shuffling feet of your child who’s been scared awake by a nightmare.
