1. Chapter 1

Chapter One

I woke at six in the morning. For a while I just lay there, listening to the birds. I turned onto my other side and found Will sat in the chair by my bed, sleeping soundly, having fallen asleep there last night. I reached out and took hold of his hand, lacing my fingers with his. He woke up and looked at me, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Good morning, darling" he mumbled.
I pushed my glasses back up my nose properly and let go of his hand. I could still hear the birdsong outside. Upon seeing Will shivering in his thin pyjamas, I pulled the bedcovers back, gesturing at him to join me. He did so happily, turning me onto my other side so he could spoon with me while we listened to the birds quietly.
"It's lovely, isn't it?" he whispered, nibbling the top of my ear.
I shuddered. "Beautiful…"
He bit harder, his warm breath tickling me. I clung to his hand, carefully moving my head away from his mouth.
"Not now… listening… birds" I muttered.
Will respected what I wanted and just cuddled me carefully in silence.

I went back to sleep when the birds stopped tweeting, only to be woken again at seven-fifteen.
"Will, let me sleep…"
"Grell, we have to go to work"
I sighed and let him drag me out of bed. At least we had crumpets in the kitchen.
