When Gabriel woke up, he felt a numbness in his arm and was about to shift in discomfort. But just as he moved his arm, he heard a woman's dissatisfied moans as she snuggled into his embrace again.
That was when he remembered that Serenity had moved in last night. He looked down at the woman in his arms who was still sleeping. Her hair was spread all over his arm instead of draping over her fair face as white as jade porcelain, flawless.
It was reassuring and cozy to wake up next to someone.
This woman had gotten into an accident for him 28 years ago.
With the situation they were in now, he no longer saw the accident as an unfortunate event. Instead, he was convinced that it was God's destined fate for him and Serenity.
As Gabriel continued to gaze lovingly at her, Serenity's long dark eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Though awake, she was still in a daze.
Gabriel kissed her forehead. "Time to get up."
