That awful coffee she'd made was keeping him awake. He got out of bed and fumbled his way across the strange landing to the bathroom. On his way back out he hesitated outside Kathryn's bedroom door. He wanted to be next to her. She was the one who had suggested taking it slowly but he needed to feel her beside him. That was all he wanted. He quietly opened the door and tiptoed into the room. He lifted the covers and slipped into the bed. He cuddled up to her and felt completely relaxed. 'How does she do that?' he thought. Even when she was asleep her presence made him feel wonderful.
She awoke soon after to feel the warmth of Grahams body against her back and his left arm tucked around her waist. She listened intently to his breathing. It was deep and steady. He was fast asleep with his chin resting on the top of her head. 'Wow' She wanted to scream with delight but she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep in the arms of this man who was little more than a total stranger but with whom she was completely and utterly in love. They lay together, two strangers thrown together by some twist of fate.
