Sleeping Together

Edwin shook his head and walked to the side of the bed. He took off his slippers and rolled onto the bed. As he covered himself with the blanket, he replied, "It just so happens that I like to sleep on the left side of the bed. The two of us complement each other."

After he laid on the bed, all the main lights went out instantly, leaving only a small yellow light by the bed. The light was a little dim, and they could barely see each other.

Edwin turned around and looked at Caroline. "Can I hold your hand to sleep tonight?"

"Sure." Caroline reached out her left hand from under the blanket and placed it between them.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of clothes rubbing against each other. Then, her left hand was grabbed by a dry and warm hand, and their fingers were intertwined.

The relationship between the two of them was maintained by holding hands. Caroline and Edwin stared at the ceiling quietly.
