He didn't need to ask about some things; Goodnight was raised in a house that, until the war, had slaves. Maybe Billy's experience hadn't been entirely the same, but he had to imagine it wasn't all that different, either.
Goodnight followed him up the stairs but rather than turning back to Gus's room, he followed Billy into his own and quietly shut the door after them. He had no intention of spending the rest of the night alone, not when the solution to their inability to sleep seemed so clear. He always slept better with Billy next to him. Why deny himself that rest?
