Zenia suddenly woke up before the break of dawn. She did not know what time she fell asleep last night, but she remembered that it was still too early for her to go to bed. She blamed Vaughn for everything.
She tried to get up, but her husband was still hugging her tightly. He was sleeping soundly, but he never let go of Zenia. She lifted his arm gently and placed it on his side. He did not budge.
Zenia got up and went to the bathroom. She washed for a bit and wore a comfortable dress. She got out of the bathroom and saw the brightly-lit moon from the window. She walked there to take a closer look. She gasped at the beautiful sight right before her eyes. The sea was calm and the moon's reflection could be seen on the surface of the water. She liked it very much and wished that they could return to that same house someday. Perhaps, when they had a child?
"A child…" Zenia uttered softly and gently rubbed her abdomen.
