When Kade returned back to his tent from the meeting, he found out his wife was already asleep. Pressing his lips together, he wondered if this was her tactic. He had made plans to get someone to take her home right this instant. With her in a deep sleep, hugging his blankets, he could do nothing. All he did was stare.
In her sleep, Lina was most peaceful. She slept like a well-fed puppy. Her breathing was shallow, her eyebrows calm. How could she sleep in a time like this?
Kade held back a sigh. He supposed he'd send her back first thing in the morning. For the time being, he wanted to hold his wife. For the final time before war started. Just one last time.
Right when Kade approached the bed, Lina turned her entire body.
"Ugh…"
Lina spread herself like a starfish, her tiny body taking up the entirety of the bed. She lightly snored, her eyes still shut.
"Hah…"
