Mineah's birthday celebration had extended into the early hours of the morning. She and Nikolai were both exhausted, but it was worth it because she really had a great time celebrating it with the people she cared about. She also received tons of gifts but of course, none could compare to the magical gifts Nikolai had given her.
She carefully extricated from her husband's hug and quietly sat up on the bed. She smiled fondly watching Nikolai fast asleep. The sun had already risen, and while she knew she should wake him, she didn't have the heart to disturb his peaceful sleep.
A heavy sigh escaped her as she stood up and stared at Nikolai.
