Samantha pushes aside the stray strands of hair on Theo’s forehead. He looks so peaceful while sleeping, she thinks to herself as she takes in his serene face. She was currently in his bed, lying naked next to him. Ever since the shift, she has been sleeping here with him. For some reason, their relationship took a complete 360-degree turn. Sure, they were mates even before the shift but somehow it always felt like there was an invisible wall between them. That wall vanished into thin air with the shift.
They are the happiest they have ever been. Theo seeks her out at every possible moment he can. His love language is touch, she noticed. Even when they are in public, he would graze the sleeves of her dress, sometimes her hair to make his presence known, as if she would ever need a reminder.
