Robert still hadn't gotten used to sleeping in the house. It was the lack of any waves, the missing sounds of the ocean that made it restless for him. He hadn't realized just how used to those sounds he had become until she stayed away from them for several nights and found he didn't sleep quite as well as he had before. If it wasn't for the comfortable presence of his wife in bed next to him he wondered if he would get any sleep at all.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he slept so lightly since coming to the house he might not have even heard the crying. For a moment he brushed it off as just his imagination, just the creaking of the house that had sounded like a cry. When he heard it again though he rolled over, remembering that there was a child in the house now that had recently lost their mother.
"Heard crying," he mumbled to Virginia as she told him to go back to sleep. "I should go check on Gabrielle."
