Settling In

As the sun began to peek through the curtains, its gentle rays illuminated the room where Jerry lay in a state of half-awakeness. He blinked, slowly adjusting to the soft morning light that filtered into the bedroom. As his senses gradually awakened, he became acutely aware of the warmth beside him.

Turning his gaze, Jerry's eyes met Sophie's peaceful sleeping face. Her features were serene, and her chest rose and fell rhythmically with each breath. It was a sight that filled Jerry with a sense of wonder and contentment. Here he was, married to this woman he had known for so long, now sharing a bed, a life, and a future.

Jerry couldn't help but smile to himself. The events of the past weeks had been a whirlwind, from the wedding to the honeymoon to moving into the Sinclair family mansion. It was a new chapter in his life, and he was determined to make the most of it.
