The following day.

Rael got up from the bed, stretching his arms as a fuzzy feeling swirled around in his chest.
Last night, they had a blast watching a dozen movies, and, of course, the best part was the popcorn.
She practically loved popcorn, and each time she was finished, she asked for more.
He felt like they had gotten much closer, but still, there was this small barrier blocking their relationship from progressing, he just didn't know what.
Nonetheless, their little unplanned date went by without a hitch, and in the end, they went to sleep in separate rooms.
They were husband and wife, but Rael felt like they weren't on that kind of level yet, so he didn't rush things.
For all he knew, rushing would only make her hate him, and he obviously didn't want that.
Therefore, she was currently sleeping in the room opposite his.
On a massive bean bag at that... why did it cost me 50,000 Trell? Rael pondered, then got into the shower, washed up, and put on his clothes.
