Danika woke the next morning with dual feelings. She felt sick and so better, at the same time.
The sick part of it, is the normal part. She understands it because she's been that way for a good while now. But the better part?
She smiled widely as she remembered last night. Or is earlier this morning?
That hug...
She closed her eyes ams could almost feel his arms around her. He'd held her tight...like he didn't want to let go of her.
Then, they'd walked. He'd told her about his late Cousin. He'd sat with her and let her put her hands on him. He'd put his head on her belly...
Her hands rose and pressed on her stomach, her face glowing. She can still remember the way they'd stood there and she was patting hs head. They'd stayed for a long time too.
Such a sweet sweet moment.
Later, they'd walked back to his chambers and he'd let her lie down on his bed. He didn't touch her intimately, and frankly, she never expected him to.
