Kyle startled awake with the voice beside him, sitting up suddenly and reaching out to take the pillow from her. He stopped halfway to it, realizing what was happening, and smiled up at her, lifting his head to allow her to set the pillow there. Then he slapped the couch beside him, still clearly half asleep.

"Come lay down. You need sleep more than I do." There was plenty of space for her to stretch out with her feet or head on his lap, or for her to curl up against him. He left it intentionally open, not encouraging her in any way beyond to join him.
