After their bath and dinner, Elric sat up in bed awake watching his beautiful wife as she slept. The strangest thing had happened when he hugged Melissa earlier today and he knew he wasn't mistaking it, every time he held Melissa close he would feel this odd attraction to her, this possessiveness and care that he couldn't quiet explain, but the minute he let her go all those feeling sort of just faded away, was that normal?
What did that even mean? Elric had always felt like he had a special connection with Melissa from the first moment he set his eyes on her, but right now it felt different and he couldn't explain how. Was he maybe just attracted to her body? Is that why holding her close felt so great? No that was ridiculous.
