Abi's eyelids fluttered like the wings of a butterfly as she felt the warmth of the sun on her face. But it wasn't just that, there was also a different warmth and she subconsciously drew her body closer to it, revelling in its familiarity.

'Mmmm,' she mumbled subconsciously as her eyes fully opened to see that she lay on the bed with her arm around a man's waist!

She looked up, suddenly alert, to see who it was and she was met with her beloved's face, smiling triumphantly at her. For a second, her heart fluttered with happiness only to be replaced again with grief the next second, because this man wasn't really her beloved.
