Hours had passed as they lay there together beneath the sheets, wrapped up in each others arms. Back and forth that small book passed, each taking their turn to read a chapter aloud. He thought it a funny thing at first, simply amusing her. But then as each chapter passed and it was her turn to read, he found himself enraptured with her words and drawn into the story. A Skald she was, and so she was proving it. When sleep finally did claim he, he slept soundly all throughout the night. The first time, in a long time.
