Serenity woke up at dawn and realized that there was no one beside her. She reached out to touch the other side of the bed. There was no warmth at all.
She took her phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time. It was only seven o'clock which was when Gabriel's biological clock was set to.
Yet his half of the bed was cold. Did he leave after she fell asleep last night?
Did he not want to sleep in the same bed as her?
She went downstairs in her pajamas. Mrs. Winstead was making breakfast in the kitchen. When the older lady heard footsteps coming from the stairs, she came out of the kitchen and greeted Serenity. "Young Madam, you're up so early today."
"Where is he?" asked she when she did not see Gabriel in the living room.
"Is he not up yet?" Mrs. Winstead looked confused.
