"I'm so glad you quit that stupid job," Monica murmured.

Chandler leaned over, kissing her temple. "Me, too. Man, that commute between New York and Tulsa was a real bitch."

"I'll bet it was. And this bed felt so huge without you; it was lonely."

He gazed affectionately at her. "How'd you get by on the nights that I was away?"

Monica grinned. "I held your pillow close. It smells like you. So it made the nights a little more bearable."

"Aww. That's so sweet, honey. I didn't know you cared for your goofball of a husband so much," he gently teased. "So, is my pillow a good hugger?"

"You know what? Not so much." She snuggled in close, enjoying the feel of his arms tightening around her. "This is a huge improvement."

Chandler chuckled softly. "I'm glad to hear that. I'd hate to be jealous of my own pillow."
