Later, Irene woke up from a short nap. The cool wind coming from the swaying trees coming inside the cottage made her really sleepy. When they were snuggling earlier, she did not notice that her eyes were slowly closing on their own as she slept on Amiel's arms.
When Irene woke up, the sun has now become more intense but it was good especially that they were near the beach. Irene picked up her sunglasses, tied her hair into a messy bun, and removed her outer dress to only wear her two-piece bathing suit to start getting a tan.
A savory and meaty aroma filled the air and when Irene followed where it was coming from, she saw Amiel's back as he is seriously grilling some meat outside. He did not have to fan it anymore because of the wind. All he has left to do is to turn the meat and make sure it does not burn.
"What's up, handsome?" Irene greeted as she stood beside him. Her eyes are still getting used to the bright hue outside the house.
