April 1890

He wakes up and wonders why he is so cold. Then he realizes that he doesn't have a blanket and when he pulls at it, he hears his wife mumble something. He then remembers that he is not sleeping alone in his own bed. He was so tired last night that he didn't want to leave the bed he was already in.

"Just stay here," Cora said when he told her and handed his pajama bottoms to him. He was of course still wearing his pajama top. He put the pants on without actually leaving the bed and then fell asleep. And now Cora has stolen his half of the blanket.

"Cora?"

"Hm?"

"I am cold."

"I am sorry," she mumbles and doesn't show any further reaction.

"Cora?"

"Hm?"

"I'd like a bit of the blanket."

"All right," she mumbles and again doesn't show any further reaction.

He doesn't know whether to laugh or to be mad.

"Cora?"

"Hm?"

"You have to give part of the blanket to me."

"Oh," she says and pushes the part of the blanket she has been sleeping on until that moment over to him.

"Thank you," he says when he gets under it.

"You are welcome darling," she replies and it makes his heart beat a lot faster than it has ever done before.
