After a while, Lyman finally opened his eyes. He looked down at her, a soft smile playing at his lips. "Good morning, Mrs. Etheridge."

Effie's cheeks flushed pink as she murmured back, "Good morning..."

Effie's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she mumbled, "Why are you thanking me...? We're married. That's what married people do."

Lyman just chuckled and pulled her closer, saying nothing more.
