A comfortable love

She knew what she had signed up for when she agreed to marry Lance. She was aware that this was an arranged marriage for convenience. Unfortunately, the sole benefactor in this business transaction was her father, not her.

Emotions were not part of the agreement that she consented to when she married him. Of course, she was not expecting him to proclaim his undying love for her. Nor would she.

Then he said something that made her raise her eyebrow out of confusion. "It will be better if we share only one room." Those were his exact words.

She had to repeat his statement in her muddle mind, trying to make sense of it all. They already discussed and agreed on their sleeping arrangement. Therefore, why was he bringing it up again? What did he mean by sharing a room?

"Why?" She finally found her voice and asked. "Is there a problem with our current situation?" She could not think of any other reason why he would need to impose this change.
