The room had grown quiet again by the afternoon.
Ethan Laurent hadn't slept all night, while Summer Ford was slightly better off, having caught a few hours of sleep earlier.
She awoke earlier than him in the afternoon, and upon seeing the torn clothes on the floor, she frowned slightly.
Since they got married, how many nightgowns of hers had been torn?
This was their first day in Lumeria, with nothing particularly important to do, and Summer did not immediately get out of bed after waking up.
She was somewhat greedy for the warmth of the bed; it should be the first time since marriage that she lay beside Ethan with a desire to stay snug in his arms.
Lumeria hadn't yet reached winter, so the temperature wasn't particularly low, but her limbs were completely cold when she slept alone last night.
Now that Ethan was here, it felt like there was a hot source beside her, warming even the air around.
