Her Deception
Somehow, he made it to the loveseat in the spacious bedroom. He cradled her smaller form protectively, heart losing its peace.
How could it be steady when the one in his arms was shaken? He had questions, his original plan forgotten momentarily.

It occurred to her then that since she let herself feel again, her migraine disappeared. The last time was when she and Mark had just met and some petty misunderstanding was going on.
