The orange glow of the sun streamed through the window, falling directly onto Alexander's face. He sat up and opened his eyes, taking a deep breath before turning his head to look at where Sophie was lying in bed with him. Her golden hair was spread over the pillow, covering most of the white sheets below her. His eyes traveled down to her bare skin which was illuminated by the golden rays that were coming from the window, making it seem like the only thing in the room was them. His heart fluttered, as he always did when they slept next to each other.
She snuggled closer into his chest and smiled, bringing a hand up to stroke his cheek, running the pads of her fingers across it softly. Her touch sent shivers down his spine, but not in an unpleasant way. It felt nice, but also quite warm. It made Alex feel safe and relaxed.
Speaking of relaxation, Alexander realized something and looked at his wristwatch.
