Anastasia inhaled sharply and woke up from her sleep when a gust of wind frolicked the curtains and pushed a metal brooch off the bedside cabinet.
She turned her head toward the window to check what it was. However, since the curtain was closed and it was now staying still, there wasn’t ample light in the room.
Anastasia took a deep breath in and then gulped. ‘I guess it was just the wind,’ she thought.
She then closed her eyes to go back to sleep again, but she got startled when something cold suddenly touched her foot.
Anastasia quickly turned her head to the other side, only to find her husband sleeping soundly beside her.
‘When did he come back?’ she sighed and wondered.
She had waited for her husband to come back until it was way too late in the night. She had finally gotten on her bed when she started to feel extremely drowsy.
Anastasia turned to face her husband. She was only able to see his outline. And yet, a smile bloomed on her lips.
