You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa had thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep so quickly, but she drifted off in no time while hugging Benjamin.

Hearing her shallow breaths, Benjamin looked down at her and saw that she had dozed off. He pulled the blanket over her, making sure no draft could enter.

Benjamin continued browsing through documents on his phone, speeding up to finish his work before going to sleep himself.

In the middle of the night, Arissa woke up with a full bladder and had no choice but to wake Benjamin.

“Benjamin, wake up. I need to use the bathroom.”

Groggily, she nudged the man's arm beside her.

Benjamin woke up instantly. “Hold on.”

He switched on the light, got up, and carried her to the bathroom. After she was done, he brought her back to the bed.

Feeling drowsy, she fell asleep again after lying down and pulling the blanket over herself.

Benjamin arched his brows at that sight. He turned around and went to use the bathroom before coming out and returning to bed.

The next day, when Arissa woke up, she saw the kids and Bradley had arrived.
