A few hours of deep sleep can have a restorative effect disproportionate to the actual time spent in bed. Amon experienced just that, waking up around noon with a feeling of renewal.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he headed to the living room, where he was greeted by friendly glances.
"Look who's finally awake~" Julia exclaimed, her almond-shaped eyes shining almost magically as a half-smile lifted the apples of her cheeks.
"Smelled the aroma and decided to join us?" Barbara added, her playful tone adding a note of lightness to the atmosphere.
Looking at the table, Amon saw a luxurious feast. There was tuna carpaccio, saffron risotto, mini quiches, and a salad with nuts and goat cheese. A succulent lamb roast with mint sauce occupied the center of the table. Desserts included vanilla pudding and berry pie, all accompanied by fine wines and fresh juices. The meal was a complete gastronomic experience.
