Arabella smiled. She was satisfied with this as well.
After all, Ferdinand had discarded the pillow and was hugging her tightly instead.
Sleeping together just like this was also heartwarming on its own.
Soon enough, Arabella was lulled to sleep by Ferdinand's breathing and warmth.

Several hours later . . .

Arabella stirred when she felt the cool air blow against her skin.
She had likely moved so much in her sleep that her covers slipped off.
However, she shouldn't be feeling cold even if that was the case since she was in Ferdinand's arms.
Ah, she was not.
She wouldn't have felt cold if she was.
Arabella immediately felt up the space beside her, so she could cuddle close to him for warmth. It would be more than enough to drive away the cold.
However, she did not feel Ferdinand's warm and sturdy body.
Arabella was jolted awake when she realized she was alone.
"Ferdinand?!"
Arabella looked around and did not find her husband.
