It wasn't that he didn't want to; he just didn't have the nerve.
But hearing Lillian say that lit a fire in him.

Not long after, he returned with a drenched blanket in hand and made his way to Daniela.
"My blanket's soaked." Daniela was knee-deep in report reading. She didn't look up and missed the sly gleam in his eyes.
Still focused on her work, she replied, "Really? Tell the maid. We've got extra blankets." Cedric was stunned. After a pause, he added, "The mattress is soaked too." Daniela took a few seconds, then raised her head and looked him in the eye. His eyes wavered. He couldn't hide how uneasy he felt.
"So the blanket's soaked, and now the mattress is ruined too. What do you expectto do?" Her tone was calm, but her eyes held a sharper edge.
Cedric couldn't read her face. He just felt unsettled.
He pressed his lips together and lowered his voice. "Where do I sleep tonight? After the explosion, I haven't felt well. If I sleep on the floor or couch, I'll probably catch a cold." Daniela gave a nod and pointed to a corner. "Sleep over there." Cedric turned and saw a dog bed sitting in the corner.

"Of course," she said, tossing the wet blanket into the basket. “Married couples are supposed to share a bed. Besides, I've seen how well she treats you. There's no reason she'd say no." Cedric gave a small smile. “You're right," he said with a nod.
Later that night, Carol stayed up, clearly waiting to see how things to would turn out. Daniela was still focused on her documents.
In his pajamas, Cedric walked over and said, "It's getting late. You should on getting rest Daniela didn't look up. "You go ahead and sleep first."
Cedric stood there, unsure what to do next. Then he turned around and walked back to his room.
