I blinked in surprise but called out, "Come in, baby."

Savannah peeped through the crack as she sleepily asked, "Why aren’t you in bed?"

"I was about to come join you."

She opened the door wider and held out a hand.

I released a heavy breath as I got to my feet, strode over to her, and entwined our fingers.

It didn’t release me from the chokehold of need that was clawing at my throat, but it took some of the load off…

I raised her hand to my mouth in thanks, pressing a kiss to the knuckles as we returned to our bedroom.

Only when we were back in bed, her all up in my space to avoid the wet spot—I wasn’t going to complain—did I take another deep breath and force myself to relax.

Sleep didn’t come easily, but it graced me eventually. That, in my current predicament, was something I considered to be a blessing.
