The first rays of sunlight were just beginning to chase away the shadows of dawn when Lilith woke, her mind still spinning from the revelations of the previous night.
But today wasn't about secrets or training—it was about taking a moment to breathe, to be with Amon without the weight of their responsibilities hanging over them.
As she dressed and made her way downstairs, she found Amon waiting in the kitchen, a warm smile spreading across his face as he saw her approach.
"Morning," he greeted, his voice light and playful. "I was thinking we could use a break. You know... something different. Just us."
Lilith raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. "Oh? And what did you have in mind?"
Amon's grin widened, and he held up a small picnic basket, already packed with their favorite foods.
"I thought we could have a picnic by the lake," he said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Just you and me, away from everything else for a while."
