Rome, Italy.
Carlos's pov:
After finishing my shower, I decided to quickly change in the bathroom to avoid any awkwardness with Alliana. I put on a shirt and some long shorts. The last thing I wanted was to make her uncomfortable by walking around shirtless. When I was done, I flicked off the bathroom lights and gently opened the door, stepping back into the room.
To my surprise, Alliana was still there, nestled comfortably in my bed. "You decided to stick around, huh?" I asked as I walked toward her, but she didn't respond, still lost in sleep. I leaned closer and called her name again, but she didn't stir. Looking at her more closely, I realized she was sound asleep, a few strands of hair drifting over her peaceful face. She seemed calm, wrapped in half of my covers.
