They reached her room and he let her down.
 
"I'm sorry, Julia.. I didn't know." Patrick was suddenly there as she slowly walked toward the bathroom, hoping Derek was going to bring back the robe.
 
She waved it off.. or tried to, her hand making some kind of movement and half whispered at him "Just go find.. Kat.  Watch her.. till I wake up...."
 
Left foot, right foot.. left foot, right foot... she made her way inside the bathroom, kind of remembered closing the door and pulled off her clothes before stepping under the hot spray, the water hitting her face giving her at least enough snap to get her through the rest of the shower before getting out.
 
Damn. robe.  She hadn't waited for Derek to give it to her.
 
So she moved to the door, a towel about her for now, and opened it a crack before calling out to him, her eyelids already drooping "MmmmmmDerek.....I kindaforgot..."
 
Julia barely realized her words were blending as all she wanted right then was to get the robe and go to bed.
 
Robe, bed, sleep.  Robe, bed, sleep.
 
She half suspected that if she said that outloud it'd sound something like 'ro-edblah' and just propped her forehead against the door frame, eyes closed as she waited for a response from him.
