Without You

Katherine laughed. 

Cage's expression turned serious. "I woke up without you in bed," he started solemnly. "For a minute, I panicked because I thought it was a dream." Katherine's smile disappeared as well. "I was terrified." He looked sheepish but Katherine knew what he meant. 

"I wake up some days to the same feeling. I know it can be hard to believe at times but it is real..." And they had to figure out how to keep each other from forgetting. 

"Thank god," he muttered. But then she shook off the melancholy. "My fantasies are lacklustre, now I know." He looked over her body with appreciation, looking like the lecher he was. "I was confused at first and mildly scared but I got over it." He shuddered a little. 

Katherine grinned. "I planned this last week. Glad you enjoyed the show." She tipped her proverbial hat.
