When they got home and after putting Noah to bed Olivia went to bed and the sheets rustled as Edgar pulled the bedspread down and tucked the duvet around Olivia's sleeping body. He slid beneath the sheets, beating the pillows into shape before laying his head on them.
A cloud hid the moon, a sure disappointment for stargazers. A faint beam of moonlight came in through the window, falling on her face. Even in her sleep, she was content. Her face was relaxed, her lips curled into a slight smile. She rolled closer to him, draping her arm across his chest as she nestled her head on his shoulder.
How many times had he done this to her in the past? Come to bed and as he was laying there watched her sleep? Too many times to count.
His hand drifted down to her shoulder, caressing her stomach through her silk nightgown. He couldn't help but smile as he kissed her forehead and hugged her closer.
He rubbed her shoulder and whispered to her sleeping face, "I just love you so so much I can't bare to lose you to anyone or anything."
Silence stretched after he said that as he stared down at her. The curve of her shoulder was perfect; the pressure of her arm across his stomach was as fulfilling as anything could dream of being.
He kissed her forehead again, taking care not to wake her. Things would go right he would make sure that no one or anything would ever hurt her ever again and he would protect her and Noah no matter what.
