Chapter 196: Back At It

Aside from the dreams that almost always ended with Emily being unable to breathe. The three days where she did not share a bed with Derek were not so bad. And Emily had to admit that probably a huge chunk of that was because she knew it was only temporary.

That she only had to endure all of the discomfort that came with interrupted sleep for a short period of time. Had it been like in the past where each and every night was just this endless cycle of nightmares waking, and embroidering. Emily would not have been able to endure it, with as much grace as she did the three days that went by without her sharing the bed with Derek.
