Xander woke up and did not dare move an inch. The shuttle bus was parked at a rest area, and so he assumed that the group had a stopover for lunch. No one was left on the bus except him, Yera, and the bus driver, who was in the middle of eating his lunch inside the bus.
"Sir, your employee didn't want to wake you up and told me that she would buy the two of you some food which you can eat here instead," explained the bus driver as soon as he noticed Xander was already awake. Xander only nodded and smiled. He did not dare speak for fear of waking Yera up.
Yera was deep asleep, which made Xander sigh because he was sure Yera had not been sleeping well either. 'She must be having a hard time too,' Xander concluded. He took the opportunity to kiss Yera lovingly on her head before the rest of the group came back to the bus.
