When Hazel woke up, Will was already gone for the day. She had been so exhausted from the emotional upheaval yesterday that she had fallen asleep in his arms after they made love.
There hadn't been much time to process anything because of all the effort she went to not to think while he was still at work. Now she had all the time in the world and wasn't sure she wanted it.
It would have to be done eventually. Last night had cemented the fact that they were a real married couple. If she was going to be a decent wife, she would have to come to terms with this.
The one thing she couldn't deny was that Will loved her deeply. That had been apparent from the way he had treated her up until this point. Last night he had been exceedingly gentle, as if he was afraid of breaking her, even though his kisses had been hungry ones.
