That one is quite simple. I knew I wanted a bit of intimacy between the two of them at the end of the chapter, I just didn't know what that would be until about a week ago when that scene hit me. I didn't want the chapter to end with Katie and Maggie, I wanted more to it. It took it a few days to develop the idea on top of that because it's not quite the same as I had originally planned. It started out as her standing at the window and looking out when he walked in, but the idea of her being lulled to sleep by his presence just seemed much sweeter in the long run. Besides, I don't like winging things. Just writing something as I went for that part of the chapter instead of letting the idea hit me first probably would have resulted in something I wouldn't have been happy with.
