[For Shadow & Karen]

[theirlawyer]

Most mornings, if Ainsley had stayed over the night before, she had made sure to be up and back to the Compound at a relatively early hour of the morning; one she had grown accustomed to getting up at in her jobs in Washington. This was done mostly so no little girls stumbled their way into a precarious situation.

But this morning? Well, Ainsley had had a couple of glasses of wine the night before and had even brought sleeping garments in the form of a pink negligee and so, when the sun rose in the sky, rather than spill out of bed and change, she just burrowed deeper into the warmth of the covers and Shadow and ignored any potentialities the morning might bring.

She couldn't be blamed for one morning like this, could she?

Ainsley just nodded and with every ounce of resolve, she kept herself from running away too quickly and just stayed put.

He had been half-expecting her to get up and be on her way, so when she stayed right there, he smiled slightly, gray eyes watching her warmly in the near-dark of early morning.
