[Daughters of Melbourne 04] • Audrey's Road Trip

I tried to relax and breathe deeply, hoping that I would go to sleep quickly, but I was too nervous. I heard the TV get shut off, I heard James moving around the room, I assume he was gathering his things together, then the bathroom door opened and closed. After a couple of minutes, I heard the door open and close again, and James’ feet made a little sound as he padded across the carpet to the bed. I felt the depression of the mattress as James climbed into the bed. I laid there a while longer, then I heard James’ chuckle.

“Relax Audrey. You are so tense I swear I could bounce a coin off you! I’m tired, I did a fair bit of driving today and the walking tonight made me ready for bed. Even if you hadn’t made it perfectly clear before, nothing is going to happen in this bed tonight, so you have nothing to fear from me. Goodnight”.
