Liz woke up cocooned in Max's embrace.
She smiled and rubbed her cheek against his firm chest while taking a deep breath to inhale his scent.
"Do you need to go to work today?", Max asked.
Liz looked up at Max with a puzzled expression. He didn't wish her a good morning, and his brows are furrowed. What happened? They caught the bad guys who were plotting against the Alpha group, so he should be in a better mood.
She decided to answer his question. "It's Friday so… no."
"Good."
"Good morning, Max.", Liz said.
Max let out a long exhale and tightened his hold on Liz. "Good morning, love."
"Why are you in a bad mood from early morning?", Liz asked with a drowsy smile while trying to cheer him up. She noticed dark circles around his eyes and gently ran her fingers over his cheek. "Did you even sleep?"
