Anne was happy to have Edward. He wasn't like other men she'd met--he was gentler, it seemed, and she appreciated that.

And when she woke on Christmas morning, she was pleased to know that she was in his--no, their--room. It felt comforting.

"It's Christmas," she said aloud, more to herself than to Edward. She couldn't help but grin.
