The sweet smell of lavender coupled with the golden rays of the sun greeted Alex as he opened his eyes.
He found himself back in his bedroom with the bedsheets over his face.
Taking a moment to understand what was happening, he was soon jolted from his thoughts by a familiar laughter coming from underneath the covers.
"What's on your mind?" Isabella said as she emerged from the covers, straddling Alex while her hands were placed on his chest.
Alex blinked a few times before a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "I stargazed for a bit too long, didn't I?"
"Hmm?" Isabella raised a brow in confusion.
Reaching out, he placed his palm on her cheek and asked. "What time is it?"
"It's still early."
"I know but..."
"You have to go… I know." Isabella's expression seemed to grow a bit dreary but her smile remained, albeit a bit dimmer than usual.
"Isabella…"
"Will you be back tonight?" Isabella cut him off, not giving him a chance to explain.
