As soon as Bryan noticed that she was already asleep when she was not responding to his discussing, he just smiled and stood up from his chair.
He came very close to her and was about to carry the magazine from her laps as she folder up on the leather couch in his study.
She struggled a bit with the magazine unconsciously but Bryan was able to take it off her grip and place it on a stool close to her where her tea cup was placed on top.
Her stillness caught his attention. Looking at her this close and from the view he was watching her made his heart stopped as he watched her lie there so calmly.
He noticed yet again that Alexa was not just a girl with a fair skin, but she was truly beautiful. The more he looked at her, the more he noticed her beauty.
He held her hand and looked at it. He wandered in his mind the troubles she must have hone through while growing up without her dad and trying to survive daily with her mother.
