Hello, My Darling Wife

At the praise, Ella's face lit up, and even sleepy she couldn't help but beam upwards. The kiss had been chaste, sweet. A little nibble, but nothing more. [q]Morning? Uh-huh.[q] A quiet, sleepy agreement.

And Novella was near dozing, except her fiancee was still there, knelt next to the bed. [q]Mmm, kiss, please.[q] Ella yawned, tapping her mouth expectantly. One more kiss, and then she'd sleep.

A good sleep... maybe the best sleep in ages; the bed was so comfortable and she was so warm, and snuggly... the duvet was better than anything she'd had before—
