I woke up to the weight in me, pressing down on my chest, abdomen and my hip. My hands were wrapped around it, and when I pulled it closer to me, I realised that it was my fiancé, Penny, sleeping soundly in my arms.

She rarely slept in my arms, although we shared a bed, so when she nuzzled into my chest and moaned in her sleep, I pulled her closer and buried my face into her blond hair. I expected to smell her Chanel number 5 perfume, but instead I smelled something coconutty and sweet. A smell I had never smelled before.
