MELANIE~•~I woke up to the sound of light snow tapping against the window.For a moment I didn’t know where I was, then the heavy duvet, the unfamiliar ceiling, and the solid warmth beside me brought everything back.I was in Australia at a resort with Christian Sinclair.And I was still in his room.My head was resting against his shoulder, one of his arms wrapped loosely around me. At some point during the night, the movie had ended and neither of us had moved. He was still asleep, breathing evenly, the usual sharp lines of his face softened by sleep. I stayed still longer than I needed to, watching him, before I tried to carefully ease away.He stirred the moment I shifted. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice rough with sleep.I winced. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.”“You didn’t.” He checked the time on the digital clock, then looked at me. “How do you feel?”“My body still thinks it’s yesterday.”Christian chuckled, the sound deeper than usual because he had just woken up.
