Sarah woke up in the morning and smiled. She was in the bed, on her own island in the Adriatic Sea, next to the man she adores. The facts that she smelled of sweat and felt sticky didn't bother her at all. Those are remnants from previous night, and it's nothing that a quick shower can't resolve. Just a bit more... she wanted to enjoy this few more minutes before she showers. As she shifted her body close to Aiden, he stirred.
"Good morning, baby. Happy birthday..." His raspy voice from sleeping sounded in the room even before he opened his eyes.
"Good morning." Sarah smiled. "Can you stop with 'Happy birthday'? It was yesterday."
"You don't like that it's your birthday?"
"I don't like when someone makes a big deal out of it. It only brings trouble... You know that I prefer to keep a low profile."
