Nothing can really botheras I’m in his ar that got between me and him

Weat his watch before he apologizes to Michael

“Sorry sir, we gotta ht we’d lost you for a minute there,” he smiles

Keeping a hold of me, Michael climbs the steps back onto the train

“Everything alright, sir?” The conductor asks, noting hi me

“Never better,” Michael says heartily, stooping to avoid bu so he can carry me inside the rail car properly before he has to set me down because it’s just too narrow

No trains on the honeymoon

The idea startles me at first like it’s actually Michael’s voice I can hear but I think we both have the same idea at the same moment

No ht Not for a while at least

We sit in the lounge car for quite a while, long after the train’s ain

Without even checking, I know Suzanna’s back in our sleeper

I can just feel it

Tio to sleep

I stand, and Michael moves to walk me back to my sleeper, but I stop him

Resting a hand on his chest again before holding him for a moment

“I’ll be alright,” I tell hio

Not now and not ever

And not because he’s clingy either, just because my place is by his side

“Just for tonight,” he re me

I can feel hio to my shoebox of a compartment

I don’t turn to look, even walk out of the lounge car doors and into our sleeper carriage

Being away fro now somehow

Just like we’ve both decided no ht, I know I’ve made another vow too

Only sleeping in our bed from now on, the two of us Wherever we are
