After an eighteen hour long sleep, Gabriel finally showed some signs of waking up. It wasn't often that he received such a peaceful and comfortable sleep.
Before he could even open his eyes, he felt a warm breath brushing against his neck. There was a comfortable warmth around him. Moreover, he felt as if his arms were wrapped around something soft.
Confused, he slowly opened his eyes, only to have his eyes widened in surprise. He was wide awake as soon as he realized that he wasn't in the Holy Region anymore! Instead, he was lying on a warm bed.
What was more shocking was that there was another person on the bed right next to him. Moreover, the other person was extremely close to him!
The other person was none other than Avilia who was somehow sticking extremely close to him physically. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was calm. From the signs, it didn't appear as if she was faking it! She was actually asleep.
