"Why?" he moaned as he pulled her closer.

"Because...it's a..."

"It is not a matter of principle," he laughed. "It's just plain impractical. It is..." he paused to lift his head and try and locate a clock in the bare room.

"But Zac!"

"Shhhh," he teased. "I'm trying to get to sleep."

Vanessa huffed, sitting up straight in bed and not caring as the sheets pooled around her waist. "I have to spend the first night here on my own."
