Ernest sighed into her kiss and let the sweet tenderness of it relax him. It was all fine. He was so absolutely safe and free from judgement with Abi, right here in their bedroom. There was no need to be anxious.
"You're nervous, too?" he asked, not sure why he was surprised by that. She was so absolutely perfect to him that he didn't know what she had to be nervous about, but it was very reassuring to hear it.
He scrunched up his nose and pressed another quick peck to her lips before settling back against the headboard, and opening out his arms for her to lean against him if she wanted to.
"Right. Okay. If you want me to turn it off again, then we'll turn it off again," he assured her, although of course it went without saying. And once they were settled, he bit into his lower lip and pressed play.
