Ashleigh hadn't really been sleeping. She normally hid it pretty well - laying in the dark, breathing evenly until she was certain that Ed had slipped off into the peace of sleep. She rarely left the bed after that, but she did relax and put less effort into pretending to be asleep when she wasn't.

It was odd, really, that he hadn't noticed. He normally picked up on such things quite easily. However, he'd been distracted and she always had an excuse for being awake before him.

When she saw a smile, a real one, her own face lit up. "Not yet this morning," she answered softly, returning the kiss when his lips brushed over hers.

She didn't believe his words when he told her that she was amazing. She wasn't amazing. Honestly, she'd never felt like more of a failure before now... and with her mother, that was saying something.

"I love you," she mumbled, reaching out to touch his cheek. "So much."

Their lips touched and she sighed into the kiss.

Maybe things would be okay. She'd started to believe that they would never be normal again

Ashleigh couldn't help grinning at his distracted reply. It was nice to be playing, to have a light moment after so much worry and upset. It was good to just be them... even if it was only for now.

She hummed quietly as his lips and fingers brushed over her skin. This was certainly a brilliant way to pass the time... even if she was suggesting other activities.

Her mouth opened to answer his offer of cards but any response was happily muffled against his lips.

It took a moment or several but she finally pulled back. "No... not cards," she breathed. "There are... there are board games if, you know, you're really bored."

"No, not bored," he assured her, voice low and almost a growl as he kissed down her neck, pushing his hands higher under her top. Definitely not bored. And definitely not in the mood for any sort of games other than the one they were playing right now.

Hips lips and hands worked happily over her skin and he smirked as he kept at what he was doing. Oh, and, hey, there was that spot on her neck. The one she really liked to have nibbled, so he set to work doing just that.

Ashleigh was quite happy to hear that her husband wasn't bored. She certainly wasn't... not in the slightest.

A moan echoed between them when his lips and teeth found just that spot on her neck. Really, it was amazing what he could do with that spot and what it did to her. Should be outlawed... or something... especially when she was trying to form coherent thoughts.

"Mmmmm, well, I'm glad... to keep... to keep you... so entertained," she whispered distractedly before beginning to pull at his clothes.
