Bram approached the bed. He saw Briel's sleeping face alternate with Clara's. It made him happy to see the sight.
Bram saw Clara's dress slightly open, revealing Clara's legs to her thighs. Bram took the blanket, covered Clara and Briel's bodies.
Bram crawled up onto the bed slowly. He lay there too and his gaze fell on Clara's face facing him.
Once again, a smile tugged at Bram's lips. He stared at Clara's face until he finally fell asleep.
*** The next day.
Clara blinked. She felt a weight on her waist.
Clara was surprised to see Bram's face in front of her. Even Bram's hand touched her waist. Bram still had his eyes closed.
"Bram! What are you doing here?" shouted Clara.
Clara didn't realize that Briel was between her and Bram. Briel woke up startled by Clara's screams. Likewise with Bram who also woke up from his sleep.
Clara flinched at Briel's terrified face.
