Hiza did not understand why Joseph would not let her be close to him but she did not want to make him mad so she took up a corner of the bottom of the bed and curled up. She did not want to risk moving closer in her sleep and getting him made at her. She was scared he would hate her even if it was an accident. She wished she could be close to him but she was going to try not to push it and keep her distance from him so he would not throw her away.
