Lillian was a little sad to leave Japan and the wonderful memories she shared with Lucas there but they had to return to their regular lives. Once they returned, Elora had cooked them a lavish dinner and by night time, Lillian was so tired that she fell asleep instantly afterwards. The next morning, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Lucas was with her, hugging her tight.
It became a routine of sorts for them to sleep like this. Sometimes they would make love, sometimes they would just talk. Or rather, Lillian would talk while Lucas only listened to her. She rambled about everything she could think of and he would just silently listen.
Was it bliss? Or just a calm before the storm? Whatever it was, Lillian did not want it to end. The peaceful days were precious to her and even though she was happy, there was a nagging feeling in her heart that these moments would come to an end.
