this one will do
As they strode towards each other through the bed warehouse John’s baritone reassured the young besuited sales assistant
I’m looking for a bed
me too! Sarah’s soprano sang, John stopped, turned to face her
Are you? his slight Oklahoma drawl, playfully suggesting a challenge
No, I’m looking for YER bed misser Sarah tilted her head and flashed her lashes to take up the challenge. John blushed with a hint of a smile before turning back to the sales assistant.
The technical bed-purchasing discussions didn’t interest Sarah. From across the warehous she interrupted their conversation to ask the sales assistant If I takes me shoes off can I jump on yer beds… …to test em out like? the young besuited assistant nodded.
Sarah kicked of her pumps, leapt onto the nearest bed then launched from bed to bed across the store finally stopping by John who was lying on his back. His body barely moved as she landed beside him. His eyes were closed, his fingers woven together across his chest. If she hadn’t known he was testing sleep she might have thought him dead. Sarah gently kissed Johns serene forehead.
Are you dead? Can I wake the dead?! Sarah started trampolining by John’s side. With a slow deliberate move he swung his arms round her legs and draggged them to the foot of the bed. She fell neatly in a giggling bundle beside him.
“I think this one will do, don’t you?” he said to the sales assistant while holding Sarah’s gaze.

I find the whole process of buying beds deeply offputting. Especially when M.DeFarge starts snoring and I have to find another bed, for added realism.
