It was dark at night, and it was time for them to sleep. Elena had swapped roles with Elysia for a moment when they met the soft bed.
Evelyn lay quietly and peacefully in her room with her best friend, the one that made her accustomed to sleeping together. She exhaled softly right beside Elysia in her deep sleep.
Elysia opened her eyes and glanced to her side to make sure the girl sleeping beside her was fast asleep. Slowly and gently, she lifted Evelyn's delicate arm that lay on her tummy, then quickly replaced herself with the reliable cuddle doll.
'Phew...' Elysia sighed inwardly, followed by smoothing out her hair.
Just one step away from the bed, Evelyn suddenly moved a little to change her sleeping position to a more comfortable one and hugged the cuddle doll tighter.
"Ely..."
Evelyn muttered in her sleep, and it made Elysia froze for a moment in surprise.
She turned to check once more. Evelyn was still fast asleep.
