Marriage Bargain

The tiny ray of light flashed across my face as I woke up cold bed sheets. I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes . My feet dangled in the air for a moment before I planted them firmly on the floor. 


I entered the bathroom, still feeling sleepy . I flicked on the light and blinked in the bright glow. I looked at the mirror,my eyes tracing my face down to my lips. 


My fingers went to my lips , my fingers tracing the tender skin as memories from the previous night flooded my mind. My cheeks flushed with a warm blush as I replayed the memory of Ronald's kiss. 


I lost in fantasy as I regained my posture before I shook my head and tried to clear my mind. I glared at my reflection, my eyes stern. "Focus, Emily," I told myself. "This contract marriage will be over very soon,remember your promise. You're going to marry for love, not...not whatever this is." 


I took a deep breath and tried to steady myself, my determination reflected back at me from the mirror.
