It has been a cozy slumber for you throughout the night until at one point, you woke up, your body forcing itself out of its restful sleep. There was an uncomfortable heat engulfing you.

Being awake, your senses were regained, where you were able to feel a weight around your waist. Tilting your head, you glanced behind you and let out a content sigh. It was just your husband, Austin spooning you.

It was a pleasant sight and feeling since your nights always felt lonesome since he always came from work late—a time you were often asleep.

With your husband’s arm wrapped around you, trapping you in a still embrace, you felt compelled to stay where you were at so that you didn’t wake him up. Oddly enough, a faint smell of burnt tobacco reached your nose, suspicon arousing within.

It was outlandish because your husband always avoided cigarettes since he had asthma. While in thought, suddenly, the man you were next to subconsciously pulled you closer, constricting you into a tighter hug, stirring a bit in his sleep.

“Mmm…” Xander dozily grumbled in his sleep, breathing soundly.
