Ryan yawned and stretched, a sense of accomplishment washing over him. He had finally finished the last of the paperwork on his desk, a mountain of documents that had been piling up for days.
Exhausted but satisfied, he extinguished the lamp before him and stood up, stretching his tired muscles. He left the study, closing the door behind him.
As he entered his bedroom, his eyes adjusted to the dim moonlight filtering through the window. Suzy was already asleep, curled up in an unusual position that only she could manage. A barricade of pillows divided the space between them, her leg crossing the line. A smile crept onto his face. She was so endearing, so unpredictable.
"How cute" he said as he closed the door behind him and walked towards the bathroom.
He proceeded to shed his clothes, his movements slow and deliberate. The warm water of his bath soothed his tired muscles, washing away the stress of the day.
