Josephine sighed softly and let sleep take her over. Her mind was slowly unraveling to peaceful and harmonic silence, thinking only of happy days ahead. She was more at peace than ever before as she slept, curled up in Raoul's protective grasp. This definitely had been a night that she would remember forever, there was no doubt about it.<br/><br/>The morning light snuck in between the curtains as the sun rose above the treetops. It shone upon the bed where the king and queen lay, blissfully and peacefully asleep. The bright sunshine glared upon Josephine's face, waking her gently. But there was a harshness to it that was unusual for that time of day. The young woman shifted and stretched, yawning as she sat up. It took a moment to realize she was without a nightgown, and remember the events of last night. She smiled upon Raoul's sleeping face and leaned down, kissing his timidly on the lips.
