Hugh slid under the covers as carefully as possible, trying his best not to wake Paul.

But as usual, it didn’t work.

Paul hummed a low groan and stirred.

“Shhhh. Go back to sleep, love,” murmured Hugh.

And again as usual, that did work. After Paul rolled over, flung out one arm in a welcoming manner, and gently pulled an unresisting Hugh to his chest, he was gone again.

It would take Hugh a while to follow him, which was also typical for nights like this.

But Paul’s heartbeat under his head would do the trick eventually.

It always did.
