Caroline

The morning sun shone in, peeking through the blinds to illuminate my view. I squinted my eyes lazily as I turned in bed. Luckily, Richard still had me in his arms. 

I mostly wasn't expecting him to still be in bed next to me or to have me in the solace of his arms since it wasn't a usual thing these days to lie in bed with me till the next morning. He was either in the guest room doing God knows what or he was out to work.

I swept back the strands of hair that was on his forehead and he moved a little as he opened his eyes slightly to look at me. A smile played on his lips as he pulled me closer to himself. 

"You smell so good even in the morning!" Richard said as he snuggled his nose to the side of my neck, causing me to smile sheepishly at the tickling feeling. 

"You are so obsessed with me!" I teased and he chuckled. 

"You are so observant!" he said with a smile and ad I was about to say a word to him, I felt another urge to throw up.
