The day went by and the next arrived. It was almost midnight as Stella laid in Adam's hed, snuggling against his pillow. They didn't talk even once after their video call. She was worried about his whereabouts, but she understood that he might be busy. She tried to keep her mind at ease but couldn't no matter how much she tried. Her eyes were set on the wall clock as she was lost in her thoughts.
Her eyelids slowly became heavy with the clock's ticking and she fell asleep eventually.
Around 2 a.m someone entered the room with quiet steps. Wearing a black suit with a white button-down shirt and matching shoes he headed towards the bed. The suit had creases all over it as if he had slept in it, which was actually what happened.
His gaze fell down on his beasty who was sleeping soundly hugging his pillow tightly and tucked under the duvet, looking like a harmless kitten. His eyes turned gentle, brimming with tenderness and care for his little elf.
