Chapter 121 Wild Desires

• Annie
• After a long day of running around Verilia doing errands, I'm finally able to head back home. Daniel and I have been separated nearly all day and even though this has been our normal routine since he brought me back to the palace, it still sucks. I miss him more than I ever thought I could miss another person, and maybe it's the fact that I'm pregnant with not just one, but two babies, but I've been finding myself longing for him more and more. The highlight of my day is when I can fall asleep beside him and feel hims strong hands wrap around me or stroke my hair as we fall asleep together, or when I wake up to him looking down at me.
• At first I thought it was beyond creepy. Daniel's always been a morning person, whereas I'm the would sleep till noon if I could kind of person, so he's almost always awake before me. Since he's awake before I am, he usually spends his time looking down at me and stroking my hair softly. He occasionally leans down and kisses my forehead or nose, as he does so. It's on the line between endearing and creepy, but for the past few days, pregnant me has considered it more endearing, whereas past normal me always thought it was odd.
