Did you know it was hard for him, he had spent so much time with just one woman, and now he was with someone completely different.

James was like a puzzle to be solved. The comfortable silence, the little things he always did to show you affection, or the subtle touches—even though sometimes you felt he was still stuck on Mary. Still, James never failed to show you that he desired you, craved your presence and your touch. But sometimes it was so hard to get any reaction from his face.

Now, in the middle of the night, he lay beside you, his brow furrowed, and his hair sticking to his forehead from sweat. It was another nightmare, and you had woken from your deep sleep to bring him back to reality.
