Verity wasn't sure what part of this situation she was most uncomfortable with. For one, she hadn't spent much time with her husband's sister yet, so to be suddenly trapped in a tiny flat for an unknown length of time was stressful. Then, there was the added complication of having to be in such tight quarters with her husband, whom she'd kissed only once in their six months of marriage. Once Verity added in the stress of the conversation she knew they had to have soon, and it was a miracle she hadn't yet broken down into a mess of anxious sobs.
She was still dressed from dinner when they bid goodnight to Sylvie and retreated to the bedroom, a fact Verity wished she remembered as it would now be too awkward to excuse herself to undress. Truthfully, she would've felt more comfortable changing in front of his sister than him. Years of living amongst other women had her well accustomed to changing around them.
However, none of it mattered as her husband — who'd been nothing but kind and chivalrous towards her since the beginning — was suggesting that he might sleep on the floor. "Don't be ridiculous." Verity said in an equally low voice with a shake of her head. "We can share the bed. It's wide enough, I think."
