Primrose thought it was kind of silly to cuddle while sleeping, but a small pillow between them gave just enough space to keep things from feeling too close.
Still, she didn't ask why Edmund had put that pillow there, or why he didn't want to hold her a little tighter.
She already knew the reason, and honestly, she didn't want to tempt a hungry shark.
"Good night," she said before closing her eyes.
Even with a pillow between them, having Edmund by her side made her feel safe, like nothing could hurt her as long as she was lying next to him. She didn't have to worry about nightmares or danger tonight.
Edmund brushed her hair gently and whispered back, "Good night, my wife."
After that, the room fell into a peaceful silence. The only sounds left were the soft crackle of the fireplace and their calm breathing.
