The morning didn't start with the chirping of birds before the sun even rose. Nor did it start with a maid nearby holding a fresh breakfast platter. Today, it started with a gentle caress as hair was tucked away behind Dahlia's ear.
There was a fair deal of confusion at first. Dahlia really did struggle when she was sleepy and now was no exception. Being in a gorgeous but unfamiliar room left her struggling to remember where she was, but then the memories quickly flooded back. Beside her, a mercurial laugh echoed out.
"Sweetheart, I know you can be shy, but I didn't think your face could go so red! Other than some embarrassment though, I hope you remember last night fondly?"
