"I miss him already." I said quietly, watching as Daniel gently played with my fingers as we sat in the back of the taxi.

"Me too, but they'll take good care of him." he stated.

"Yeah I know." I sighed.

"I really want to get out of this dress." I stated, shuffling awkwardly as I tried to get comfortable in the cramped taxi.

"I want to get you out of the dress too." he grinned. I laughed and rolled my eyes at him. He smiled and gently stroked my hair as I rested my head against his shoulder.

"I can't believe you are my wife, it seems to good to be true." he said thoughtfully.

"Being Mrs Atlas does feel weird." I agreed.

He nodded slowly and rested his head against mine as I gently closed my eyes.

"Mia, wake up." I heard Daniel whisper in my ear.

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and slowly sat up.

"We're here." Daniel stated as he took my hand and helped me out of the taxi.

As we walked towards the cottage I gasped as I saw how beautiful it was. Sitting alone surrounded by countyside made it feel like our own private sanctuary away from the rest of the world. Daniel quickly picked up our bags and followed me up the pathway. As I placed my hand against the door, I gasped as it swung open and I saw the beautiful interior.

"Wow, this place is amazing." I breathed.

"Yep." Daniel agreed as he closed the front door behind himself.

I reached out, took my bag from him and quickly walked upstairs to change. As much as I loved my dress, I couldn't wait to change into something more comfortable.

I quickly walked into the bathroom and sighed as I tried unsuccessfully to unzip the back of my dress.

"Danny!" I called.

"Yeah!" he called back.

"I need some help." I told him.

I waited for a few moments as I heard him slowly climbing the stairs.

"What's up?" he asked, leaning against the doorframe as he watched me closely.

"Can you unzip me please?" I said quietly.

He nodded, stood behind me and slowly unzipped my dress. I shivered involuntarily as his fingers brushed against my spine. My skin tingled as he placed his hands inside my dress and gently placed them on my waist.

"Your hands are cold." I gasped.

"Sorry." he whispered, resting his chin on my shoulder as his hands remained in place on my bare stomach.

"Daniel, I need a minute." I stated, quickly turning around and moving away from him. He frowned at me for a moment before quickly leaving the room. He wasn't the only one that was confused by my behaviour, I hadn't expected to feel like this either. Daniel and I had broken up shortly after Cameron was born so we hadn't been intimate since our son was born. I couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of him seeing my post baby body. Even though I'd worked hard on my figure it was not the same as before. What if he found me unattractive? I sighed and closed the bathroom door behind him, quickly locking it. As soon as the door was locked I quickly stepped out of my dress and hung it safely over the shower door. I sighed as I gazed at my reflection in the mirror. I quickly knelt down and rummaged in the bag that Henley had packed for me, desperately hoping that there was something in the bag that I would look half decent in. I frowned to myself as I realised that I didn't recognise any of these clothes. They were all tight tops, short skirts and leather trousers. Just because she had the confidence to wear clothes like this, that didn't mean that I could pull them off.
