swnovels.com “Sounds great!” Saying so, Dennis hung up the call.
I was hiding under the quilt so I didn’t see what he did exactly. He shut the lights a while later and lay in bed.
Dennis pulled the corner of the quilt I was using to cover myself up, and he said, “Clara, the winter here in City P is freezing, which is nothing like in Newton Town. If you don’t share the quilt with me, you would have to call 911 for me in the morning.”
After saying so, he lay next to me quietly, without pulling anymore the quilt around me.
Hearing the sound of his breathing, I assumed he must have fallen asleep. I couldn’t help sticking my head out of the quilt, and through the dim light, I saw most of his body exposed.
He usually wears a pair of pajamas, but today he was obviously showing it on purpose.
After a while, his skin felt a little cold. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, I couldn’t help but cover him with the quilt wrapped around me.
He grabbed my hand suddenly, and he caught the opportunity to get under the quilt with me. He hugged me, and an air of cold surrounded me instantly.
“So you do care about me? You are worried that I would catch a cold, right?”
I had a good night’s sleep. The next morning, City P woke up to a sunny day after several rainy ones.
Dennis wasn’t in the bedroom. I moved my body - My ankle still hurt. I got out of bed and freshened up.
Nanny Daisy served breakfast. There were two people following behind Daisy, Dennis and Mario.
Daisy saw that I had gotten out of bed, she put down the breakfast on the bedside stand and said, “It’s such a sunny day! It seems like it’s going to snow - probably in the next couple of days.
