[Please note: We're still in Kaiden's POV - the morning he visited Senara in her bedroom]
"You're up early," Senara said as she sat beside me, facing me. "Did you have trouble sleeping?"
"No. For some reason, I just woke up early. Maybe because I missed you?"
Senara's eyes widened, probably surprised with me flirting so early in the morning. Ha-ha. Her little reactions were always so cute I couldn't help but smile.
"O-Oh. Well, ahm, I missed you too," she confessed shyly, biting her lips and averting her gaze.
"Really?"
"Huh? Of course."
"Then, can I hug you?"
"What? S-Sure."
I moved closer to her and embraced her tight as I said I would. Ahhh… hugging her was really nice. How I wish I could sleep every night hugging her like this.
