Ellie looked up at him with an uneven breath as she struggled to keep her head upright . Her smile was incredibly soft and serene . "It's weird to be taken care of again . "

Advertisement "Don't worry about it Ellie," Henry put a blanket on top of her and began to tuck it into the side of the bed . He moved her arms and legs around until he thought that she looked comfortable . Henry was glad he had positioned her well when he had put her down . "I don't regret getting involved with you . I don't think I've had this much fun with someone in a very long time . "

Henry turned to towel off the sweat from his exertions . He expected her to laugh or say something interesting, but the room was quiet . Henry turned .

He could see to his surprise that Ellie had fallen fully into sleep . He didn't mind it as she had endured such a trial in front of his eyes and did deserve a full rest . She had earned it in his eyes, but she was out of place . It was strange to have a woman like this in his bed .

Henry did have a wall pager next to his bed where he could page the servers downstairs and have Ellie put in a stretcher so she could be carted back to her room . He considered it for several moments . It would be a loud process as servants argued over strategy and communicated . He knew that his charge was sure to awaken with all of that racket and activity . Ellie did still need her rest as she was in recovery from the combination of self induced trauma and the surgery . He would have to command a batch of sleepy men and nurses who were bound to make errors and complain the whole while . In truth, all Henry wanted was to sleep of his hangover in peace .

He looked back at the illuminated doorway and his overcoat which was dripping onto the carpet below from his earlier trip . Henry could go out and get a hotel . He could move to another of the many rooms in this house, but he knew that he would itch without fresh sheets . There was bound to be dust and mold that would make him cough for the better part of the night . The though repulsed him . He considered switching places with Ellie and crawling into her bed . But seeing her serene expression as she slept finally, made him pull a hand through his damp hair . So his wife was sleeping in his bed? What of it? No one would dare question his judgement . It's not like he intended to touch her tonight or ever . There was no danger emanated from her either as she struggled to move and even if she did he could pacify her easily .

He went to go take a cold shower in his glass walled bathroom and he shivered the whole while as he knew if she opened her eyes she would see him . He had designed this room for his use only and it felt very strange to have another person in here with him . After he toweled dry he pulled on his night shorts and added another blanket within Ellie's reach . He found a spare pillow in a drawer and put it between them . He looked at her, then realized this was something he could never do without her knowing fully . He made a pallet out of the spare blankets and threw his pillow on the floor with a finality as he slept .

A man or a coward am I? he asked himself
