It was around four in the morning. Adeline was still in her sleep but she could feel her back getting cold. She was already habituated to sleeping with Theodore's arms around her waist or at least touching him in some way.
So she wriggled towards Theodore's side of the bed to stick with him. Even after wriggling significantly to his side, her back didn't touch him.
In her half-asleep state, she lifted her hand and tapped behind her to find her husband. But still, she couldn't find him.
"Theo?" she mumbled in her sleepy voice and waited for Theodore to answer. However, there was no reply from him.
She finally forced open her eyes and turned around. Theodore wasn't in bed.
Adeline furrowed her brows and got up. "Did he go to the bathhouse? Why is he up so early?"
She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She waited for some time for Theodore to return to the room but he was taking too much time.
