Ellie awoke languorously .  She didn't understand why she was so warm and felt like a huge weight was pressing down on her .  It wasn't painful, but it just felt incredibly hot and itchy . Ellie started to lurch back to awareness that someone had tucked her into the bed with a heap of blankets placed on her .  She was incredibly irritated, but also confused . This was not something Michael would do . Ellie took in a deep breath and realized today her thinking was not as muddled as day before .  Her heart was not racing and her breathes were deep and even showing her a return of a goodness of health .

She moved her toes out of the sweaty spot in the blanket as she recoiled from the sensation -- that she could react to this was a delight as all parts of her body were in sync .  Not to forget that there was a bone deep weariness from her ordeal of quitting the drug cold turkey . Her legs were no longer painfully aching from cramp or numbness from the paralysis .  This clarity was something she would always treasure as she felt reborn in her old skin .

Ellie kept her eyes closed feeling too good to want to wake up and face the day .  She sniffed the air and realized that she could detect notes of sandle wood and something that smelled expensive--cognac .  Did she even know what that smelled like? She had a pillow fully beneath her and realized her arm was wrapped around something with a surprising level of solid muscle .  She was confused as she wondered if she had been reincarnated and grown muscle overnight . Then she realized the object was rising and falling with even breath . It was breathing .  In alarm Ellen opened her eyes and couldn't believe her eyes . She was in the same bed with her husband . She was spooning him in her sleep .

She wanted to scream but the strangled sound was stuck in her throat .  She couldn't move from the shock of it all . Her breath caught as she wondered how in the world she could have come to be in this sacred room .  She knew it was impossible to get into because it was locked with a keycard access that was restricted to Henry only . It was not quite dusk and the colors reflected from the bright sunset reflected in Henry's black hair as cute natural pink highlight .  As he slept, Ellie was reminding of a budding trainee kpop star who had just debuted instead of the stoic scheming businessman whose problems had changed her life in ways she would still come to see .

It was no surprise that her mood was good .  It was really nice to be close to such an attractive man that she had only dreamed of .  Even if their relations.h.i.+p was not the real deal and she had no idea how she had come to spending the night in his room and next to him on his very big bed .
