The bedroom is dim, lit only by a single lamp casting long shadows across the walls. The scent of your husband's cologne lingers faintly in the air as you pull on your nightclothes. You noticed him earlier—he looked unusually rested, a quiet satisfaction in his eyes. Now, as you turn to climb into bed, strong arms suddenly wrap around your waist, pulling you back against a solid chest. Your breath catches. "John?" you whisper, startled by the rare contact. His chin rests on your shoulder, lips brushing your ear. "Please sleep with me tonight," he murmurs, voice low and pleading. "I slept so well last night. I need you, you... please."
