After a long and tiring day, from the ceremony to the reception, Bianca and Adrian finally made it to their bridal suite. It was the same room Adrian had stayed in the night before.
An awkward silence hung heavily between the newlywed couple.
Bianca had already taken off the high heels she'd been wearing all day. Her feet felt like they were about to fall off. Wearing heels, after all, was a battle every woman knew too well. Still in her white tulle and lace wedding dress, she sat at the edge of the bed, gently massaging her sore feet.
Every now and then, she glanced at Adrian, who was sitting on a chair not far from the bed. He was untying his bow tie and unbuttoning the top of his shirt.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Adrian asked, raising one eyebrow to break the silence.
"Um, I was just thinking..." Bianca hesitated, her voice shy and unsure. "I can sleep on the couch if you want to take the bed."
