WE WENT TO SLEEP TOGETHER, and I was surprised by how deeply I slept, pressed up against Henry’s side, one of his arms around me.

The next morning was Saturday. My classes were done for the semester, and I was free until after New Year’s. I could sleep in on Saturday morning if I wanted, and I definitely wanted to today.

Henry was still in bed beside me, looking sexy and tousled and sleepy as he blinked at me. I wasn’t sure which one of us had woken up first.

“Good morning,” he said in a raspy voice. He was smiling, despite his grogginess.

“Morning,” I said, suddenly so happy I felt like giggling.

“Do you happen to have any coffee?”

I laughed at how he’d worded the question, and I rolled out of bed. I’d put pajamas on before we’d gone to sleep—since I’m not a fan of sleeping naked. “I’ll get us some.”

“I can—”

“I’m already up.”

I went to go to the bathroom and then make us coffee, still feeling so excited I might have hugged myself as I waited for the coffee to brew. Then I returned to the bedroom, handing Henry a cup before climbing into bed.

He’d propped himself up against the pillows, and he pulled me toward him, wrapping an arm around me as I settled at his side.

“How do you feel?” he asked.

“Good.” I was even embarrassed at the admission. “I feel really good.”

“Good. Me too.” There was something in his expression I couldn’t identify. He looked pleased and relaxed and fond, but there was also something else. Something almost reluctant.

I couldn’t figure it out, and it was so faint I thought I might have misread it. We drank our coffee in mostly silence, and when he was done, he put his mug on the bedside table and leaned into a kiss.

I barely got my coffee cup set down before the kiss grew deeper. Then I wrapped both my arms around him.

“I don’t have another condom with me,” Henry murmured, “but we can do something else if you want.”

I knew what he meant, but the truth was I was warm and happy and comfortable and didn’t feel like getting all urgent and sweaty at the moment. “I think I’m good for now,” I said, smiling against his lips.

“All right.” He cleared his throat and surprised me by pulling away. “Then maybe we can talk.”

“Okay.” I peered at his face and saw that expression again, and this time it made my heart jump in concern.

“I wanted to tell you something,” he admitted, his face twisting briefly.

“Oh.” I swallowed. “What? You’re not married or—”

“Of course I’m not married!” he exclaimed roughly. “What do you think of me?”

“I didn’t think so. Sorry.” I sighed in relief, feeling silly for being worried. Whatever he was going to tell me, it couldn’t be bad.

Henry was a good man.

There were almost no men as good as Henry.

Nothing he told me could ever change that.

“It’s nothing like that,” he said, confirming my self-assurances. “It’s just—”

My phone buzzed with a text just then.
