Adeline woke up in the morning in the arms of Theodore. He was wrapping both of his arms around Adeline as if she would suddenly disappear if he would let her go of his hold. And Adeline couldn't help but gaze at her lover and smile like a hopeless fool. She did not even realize that it was already dawn. The dim morning light was already entering the room.
They didn't talk much yesterday night because it was already very late. And Adeline was very exhausted from the tiring journey as well as all the crying and pain. Both of them had fallen asleep in each other's arms instantly after Theodore carried her to his room and lay her down on the bed.
It took some time for Adeline to come out of her daze and notice that she was already late. She remembered Theodore saying to her that he wouldn't be able to teleport Rion. And she had no idea how she was going to return back to the Palace in time.
