In the darkness, Caroline's voice was so close that it felt like
Alistair could reach out and touch her.
And he actually could. They were lying on opposite sides of the bed with barely three feet between them, just a hand's reach away from each other.

Alistair silently shifted toward the middle of the bed.
Caroline felt the mattress trembling as he moved closer, and her heart fluttered in response.
Once Alistair settled in, he went completely still.
"Did you sleep on the edge with your ex-wife too?" Caroline asked, already knowing the answer.
"No, we slept in separate rooms."
