The couple fell asleep in that position. Reaching dusk, Arissa's eyes parted open from her deep slumber.
She yawned lightly and enjoyed the new surge of strength that she felt inside of her. The deep peaceful slumber helped her to feel better.
She raised her face to stare at Nicklaus. Her heart fluttered with happiness when she did and just before she would take her eyes off him to get what she wanted for her hungry stomach, she caught sight of a small smile at the corner of his lips. He smiled so comfortably like one without a worry.
Her countenance softened. She smiled beautifully when she saw him smiling in his sleep. She was curious to know why he smiled in his sleep.
He slept off with tears and now, seeing him smile, she released a deep breath and hugged him. She hoped the smile would remain on his lips forever because he deserved it.
