She runs both of her hands through Emma’s hair, linking them loosely behind her neck.

“Mmmhmm,” Emma agrees, arching an eyebrow. “Excited enough to wake me up in the middle of the night with combinations of swatches for me to look at.”

Terri huffs.

“I did that once,” she says. “And you made it clear that I was never to do it again.”

Her last word stretches into a yawn and she brings a hand up to cover her mouth. Emma stands up and pulls Terri’s arm gently.

“Come on. Bed. I’m not taking no for an answer,” she says, attempting to look intimidating.

Terri laughs and stands up, wrapping both arms around Emma and hugging her close, rocking both of them from side to side. Emma hugs Terri back, smiling into her neck.

“It’s a rare occurrence for me to ever give you ‘no’ as an answer,” Terri murmurs.

“True,” Emma agrees, lifting her head to look at Terri’s face. “That’s ‘cause you’re smart.”

“Smart and gorgeous,” Terri says with a smirk. “You’re a lucky lady.”

“I certainly am,” Emma says, bringing their lips together in a brief kiss. “But you’ll be even more smart and gorgeous after a good night’s rest.”

Terri sighs and moves out of Emma’s arms, catching her hand and linking their fingers together.

“Come on then, you’re obviously desperate to get me into bed,” she jokes, switching the light off in the office

They head back to the bedroom. Terri makes a beeline for the bed and collapses into her side of it, lying on her stomach and stretching an arm up under the pillow. Emma takes off her robe and hangs it up and steps out of her slippers. She doesn’t bother going around to her own side of the bed and instead climbs in Terri’s side. She adjusts herself so that her torso is resting on Terri’s back, her head nestled between Terri’s shoulder blades, while their legs tangle together loosely. Her hand snakes around to stroke Terri’s belly through the thin wife-beater she’s wearing.

“So…you’re pinning me to the bed so that I don’t get up again?” Terri’s voice floats out of the darkness, both tired and amused.

“Yep,” Emma confirms, pressing a little more weight down onto Terri for emphasis. “Do you have a problem with that?”

“Nope,” Terri says. “I was just checking.”

“Good,” Emma says, dropping a kiss on Terri’s back. “Goodnight baby, I love you. And the store is gonna be wonderful. I know it.”

“Love you too,” Terri says, her voice fading. “G’night.”

Emma smiles as she feels Terri’s breathing become deep and even. She turns her head so that she’s inhaling the warm, comforting smell of Terri’s skin. And she lets herself drift off to join her in slumber.
