At the crack of dawn, Drayce woke up, only to find the two women were still in the deep slumber of sleep. A light smile painted his lips as he saw how Seren was sleeping like a child with her hand wrapped around Evanthe who was sleeping straight, facing the ceiling.
His wife was clearly enjoying the warmth of motherly love, something she had missed all her life. Not wanting to disturb them, Drayce quietly slipped out to prepare everything before they woke up.
After a while, Evanthe stirred in her sleep and sat up in bed. She realized it was already morning and could hardly believe she had slept for so long. Feeling the movement, Seren woke up as well. She rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.
"It's already morning?" she wondered.
"Yes, even I'm surprised to find myself sleeping past dawn after so many years," Evanthe turned to Seren. "It seems it's all because of you. Sleeping next to you was truly comforting."
