He's kind of rambling now, which he does a lot, so it might not be a sign that he's ready to fall back asleep, but she thinks it sounds pretty promising and the hand in her hair feels nice, so she closes her eyes as well. "She'd like it if you made pies," she tells him. "Did you know her husband was in his thirties when they got married?" It's completely out of the blue, but she's just thought of it now, how Carla Jean will be the last person in the world to comment in their age difference and she thinks maybe he needs something like that after Danny brought it up first thing.

"She was like, sixteen when they met," she continues. She knows that a lot of bad stuff has happened since then, but she knows Carla Jean was happy. That she was in love. She knows she gets it. Then, just because it sounds funny, she repeats what he's said. "Erntedankefest. German is such a weird language. Hey, can you speak German?" Just another thing to add to the list of weirdly hot things about him if he can.
