Alone With Carter

You know you're in love

when you can't fall asleep

because reality is finally better 

than your dreams.

— Dr. Seuss —

The honeymoon suite was large and spacious, the red and pink interior design set to establish a soft calming effect to guests has the opposite effect on my nerves. I found myself freaked out and uneasy. My pulse wild and jittery as I 

took a reluctant step further inside the room. I swallowed hard when my gaze landed on the fancy, canopied bed frowning at how small it was, wondering how a man with Carter's size could possibly fit in it. It was called a honeymoon bed for a reason, it was designed to be a bit small to keep lovers snuggled to each other's arms. Perhaps I could encourage Carter to sleep on the floor but I wonder if he would surrender to my wiles easily.  I wonder if social distancing would be a smart idea.
