Suppressing the frustration rising within him, Micah said softly, "You take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

After all, he had survived the harsh conditions in the northern regions of their homeland. This was nothing in comparison. But Freya, who loved him deeply, could never let him sleep on the floor.
