In the morning Charlotte woke to the rhythm of warm air being blown gently into her neck, and strong arms wrapped around her shoulders.
Carefully she turned to see if his eyes were open, but he seemed to be fast asleep, head nuzzled into her hair.
The pillow felt soft and warm, and the lighting in the room was dim and comforting.
He looked so calm lying there next to her, all of the aggression that had manifested itself in his features the previous night seemed to have been washed away. Charlotte felt the urge to wiggle into his chest, but was worried she would disturb his peaceful sleep. Gently she wrapped her arms around his right arm, which was draped across her stomach and held it closer, eyes falling shut for want of more sleep.
This little movement had, however, roused him, and his eyes flickered open.
"Charlotte?" he whispered.
"Yes" Charlotte whispered back, her eyes opening. He pulled her into his chest.
"Are you having trouble falling back asleep?" he asked, his voice low and syrupy. Charlotte shrugged a little, still holding onto his arm.
He sat up a little and reached into the drawer of the bedside table to retrieve Charlotte's pacifier. He plunked it into her mouth and Charlotte obliged him by nursing on it as soon as it entered her mouth.
"You're starting to grow rather fond of your pacifier, aren't you?" he asked quietly, in a gentle but playfully condescending tone. Charlotte buried her face in the pillow to hide her blushing cheeks. "Don't worry, it's only natural that little girls have close relationships with their pacifiers, Charlotte, don't be ashamed." He freed his right arm from her grasp and used his hand to retrieve her face from the pillow.
Wetness had gathered around her mouth from the effect of having lain face-down on the pillow.
"Aww, is little Charlotte drooling all over her pacifier?" he asked, smiling at her. He ran his fingers around her mouth and under the walls of the pacifier to dry the surrounding skin before giving her a little kiss on the cheek.
He pulled her into him once again, rubbing her tummy gently in circles. "Sleep some more, little angel, then we'll have some breakfast."
Charlotte closed her eyes and let herself fall back to sleep, comfortably warm and gently nursing her pacifier.
