Standing in the kitchen on the phone in the middle of the night, waiting for LA to find the right paperwork, Amanda found herself unconsciously reaching for a pen to doodle with.
Fifteen minutes later, she hung up the call to discover that she'd coloured in one of Olivia's Peppa Pig pages.
And done a fine good job, she said to herself as she admired her work.
She startled when she felt warm arms wrap around her, relaxing instantly as she recognised Graham.
"Did I wake you?" she apologised softly.
"Nn-nnh," he replied with a shake of his head. "I woke up and you weren't there." She felt blissfully loved when he squeezed her and pressed a sleepy kiss to her neck. "Come back to bed?"
"I'll be right there," she promised. "Just let me finish up here."
He extricated himself sleepily. "I'll hold you to it."
Amanda watched his form leave the room. He was damn sexy, even at 2:00am in the morning.
And when she slipped into bed fifteen minutes later, his arms were instantly around her, snuggling her close.
Where pre-marriage it would have taken her an hour to even consider sleeping, the adrenaline pumping in her system, in his embrace she was asleep in seconds.
