His breath against her ear, her head resting on his broad chest….. Remembering this tightened her stomach, not because she didn't enjoy the night with him, but that she had given him her virginity without a ring on her finger felt like a big stone on her chest. She moved slowly to the bathroom and bent over the sink, splashing cold water onto her face. Thomas had thoughtfully placed a new toothbrush and paste for her. ‘Thomas,’ she frowned. Why had he left?
