The morning when Erick was supposed to return from Citrine, Mira was up early waiting for him as she always did.
From where she sat near the large glass windows, she could see the garden and the Three Willows Portal. At the same time, she could also keep an eye on Zander.
He was peacefully sleeping on their large master-sized bed against the inner wall, his thick blue hair splayed like a shining pool of deep water all around him.
The sunroom had surprisingly turned into a really good bedroom. It faced the east so it always got the morning sun but never any of the heat of the evening sun setting in the west.
And true to his word, at night, when the air turned a bit chilly, Zander kept her warm with his magik and his body.
Since he was still not completely well, she would not allow anything more strenuous than a bit of cuddling.
