Lucia could not sleep. She was in bed but her brain kept playing the events of the night. She and Michael were making their relationship public, but they were not announcing their engagement just yet. Michael wanted her to get used to being in the limelight first, and she was grateful for that. Lucia had wanted to keep it from their families too, because she did not want to be bombarded with wedding planning before she had the chance to brace herself. She was giddy; there was so much excited energy going through her. So much joy. She did not think she would be able to sleep.
Her phone buzzed, and she picked it up from the side table and glanced at the lit screen. Her eyes widened, and a smile stretched across her face when she saw it was a message from Michael. She clicked on it and read it.
Are you Asleep?
