Evelyn woke up to the sound of multiple car doors being slammed. She would have slept it off if they had been in London, but they were at the house of a dawn and no one slammed car doors here unless there was an attack.
Her eyes snapped open and her body moved to get up and sit in a sitting position when an arm curled around her waist and put her back into the bed, against the warm chest of her husband.
"Stay." He rasped in her ear and hit her directly making her clench her legs.
"I think something is going on. The sounds-"
"Breakfast, I will tell you everything at breakfast. Sleep for now." He snuggled in and she melted in his hold.
Well then, whatever he wanted.

The next time she woke up, she woke up alone. For a second, she was almost angry when she did not find him in the bed with her but then she remembered what happened when she woke up a few hours ago.
