Lucy's heart skipped a beat when she opened her eyes the next morning and saw Tom watching her the same way he always did whenever he woke up before her, the only difference was that he was holding her hand this time.
Tom smiled, "Good morning, my Jewel," he greeted pleasantly, and although she was still feeling a bit anxious, she smiled back.
"How long have you been awake?" She asked, and Tom shrugged.
"Long enough to know to behold your beauty," he said with a grin and Lucy blushed.
"Did you sleep well?" She asked awkwardly and he gave her a nod.
"I did. Did you?" He asked as he looked down at their joined hands.
"I guess so," she said, as she watched him while wondering what he was thinking.
Why was he acting like everything was alright and they had not just had the most awkward day of their relationship the previous day? What was going on in his head? Lucy mused.
