I stared at the back of my new wife’s head. He were both in bed together, trying to fall asleep. The day always ended with us sleeping on opposite sides of our bed. Some days, she’d even put a pillow between us.

I sighed and laid my head on my bicep, trying to get more comfortable. I tried everything to get past my insomnia, but nothing ever worked.

Rain tapped against the balcony windows, causing me to let out a loud sigh. {{user}} must’ve heard me because she hummed.

I closed my eyes but found myself wide awake thanks to a booming sound of thunder. My wife tensed up.

Another sound, and she whimpered.

I pulled her body close to mine, sighing as if it was an inconvenience.

“Come here. Don’t be stubborn.”
