Sweet Dreams

Excuse me, do you mind if I try out this side of the bed?

Carly Paris could not believe the words that had just come out of her mouth.  Had she actually asked the tall handsome stranger if she could share the bed?  Usually considered timid, Carly was all of the sudden struck with a boldness that surprised her.  Maybe it was the confidence that  her new running shoes gave her.  Maybe it was landing the lead role in the ballet's spring production of Cinderella.  Or maybe it was the allure of his dark eyes and  dark, wavy, thick hair.  Whatever it was that had moved her to do so, Carly was now sharing the same sample bed at the department store with the good looking stranger.  The stranger was Josh Ivey and he had insomnia.  Josh knew deep in his heart that his inability to sleep had more to do with memories from his past than his bed.  However he knew that although he couldn't change his past, he could change his mattress.  What he had not expected was that someone else was going to want his bed.
