“You stayed in my room last night.” He tilts his head to the side like he’s genuinely confused about why I would be nervous.
My cheeks grow warm. “Yeah, but last night I didn’t know you loved me.”
A look of realization passes across his features as he looks at me with those blue green eyes. He gently brings his hand to the side of my face, cupping my cheek.
“You have no reason to be nervous. I am not going into tonight with any expectations.” He doesn’t break eye contact as he says it. “We’re making our own timeline.”
His words ease the knot in my stomach.
“I’m not good at the whole relationship thing,” I admit.
He shakes his head. “When have you ever stumbled through any of this?”
“I don’t know. I just…” my voice trails off and I let out a long breath.
“I love you, Wisteria, but I have for a while now. You knowing it doesn’t change my expectations.” He kisses my forehead and then grabs ahold of my hand. “But I don’t want to sleep without you. I don’t think I could anymore. I’ve gotten used to you being there. I like waking up with you in my arms. I even like you complaining about me not wearing a shirt.”
That causes me to smile.
He’s right, of course. I don’t want to sleep without him either.
I stand on the tips of my toes and tilt my head up in an invitation. He bends over, his lips meeting mine. His armscircle around me, drawing me closer to him and I melt against him.
Maybe I’m overthinking things. It is, after all, one of my specialties. But with Stellan, I don’t need to think. I just need to feel and trust. And I do trust him, more than I’ve ever trusted anybody before. I’ve already given him my heart and soul. Why should I hold back anything else from him?

Awkward conversations
Wisteria
She is so adorable.
Stellan’s words wake me up, but I don’t hear the words out loud as much as I feel them reverberate in my brain. I glance up, seeing my husband watching me. He brushes my hair out of my face and he kisses me on the forehead.
“Good morning,” he says.
OkaythatI heard out loud. Whatever that was before, I must have been dreaming before.
“Good morning.” I can’t help but smile as I look at him.
I am the absolutely most lucky fae that has ever existed.
Stellan furrows his brows. “What?”
“What do you mean what?” I ask.
He blinks. “Think something.”
Thinksomething? Is my husband going mad?
Stellan’s eyes widen. “How is this possible?”
“How is what possible?” I ask,still confused.
“Come on.” He jumps out of bed and throws on a pair of sweats.
“Where are we going?” I don’t move just yet because it’s comfortable and I’m still hoping he will get back in bed with me.
