Kathrine woke up early and noticed Paul was still sleeping beside her. She could hardly believe that yesterday was real. At first, she had thought it a horribly cruel dream. However, looking at Paul's naked body, sprawled out on the bed. Just barely covered by a sheet, she knew it had all been real. Paul loved her, he really loved her. As much as she wanted this feeling to last, she knew that the moment Paul was absent, the doubts would come back. She hoped that these doubts would fade as time went on. She would have to work at it but some day she would be comfortable and confident that he loved her. Still, looking down at him, right here, right now, she knew it was true and felt very happy.
