"Go, please." I kissed her neck and she smiled with her lips against my cheek.

"Are you sure?" asked Caroline. "It's really late."

"Our own bed is much more comfortable," said Sam when I leaned back again.

Nora offered me the tiniest pout and it made me chuckle. "Sorry, Nora."

"All the pancakes for me then." She wagged her brows at Caroline who grinned.

"You know it."

"C'mon, sleepy baby. Let's get ourselves together," said Sam, and I followed her lead.

My thoughts remained quiet and calm for the duration of the night, though a part of me wondered when they'd return with force. Would I regret our night or would it be something I wanted to do again? For now, I didn't know. All I knew was I never wanted Sam to let me go. I wanted her to hold me all night, and let me snuggle her. I wanted to feel the safety and warmth she offered me every day, and mostly, I never wanted any of it to end.
