Preparations (2)

After two hours of inspecting the land to make sure everything was in order for the night, Vincent returned home, and as he expected Aurora was fast asleep in their bed. He didn't mind as after some thinking he wanted her to rest as they had a big day ahead of him. He wanted to waste no time getting married to her and starting their little family. 

Vincent stripped out of his clothes the moment he entered their bedroom to prepare for a warm bath before joining Aurora in bed. Like he used to do in the past, Vincent went to his bedroom window and looked out at the street. Unlike the other times, there was no one there spying on him now that his uncle was dead.

"Am I dreaming?" He heard Aurora's tired voice behind him.

"Why do you say that?" Vincent questioned.

"You are standing stark naked by the window. Why?" Aurora sat up from the bed.
