Alex's POV
I looked at Emma, her peaceful face illuminated by the soft glow of the room. She was sleeping soundly, her chest rising and falling with each steady breath. I couldn't help but smile as I admired her beauty in the quiet of the night. It was moments like these that allowed me to forget the troubles that had plagued my day.
Leaning in closer, I took in the familiar scent that always seemed to soothe me. Her scent had a way of calming my restless mind, easing the turmoil that threatened to consume me. With her, I found a sense of tranquility that was hard to come by in my world of conflicts and responsibilities.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, adding a rosy hue to her complexion. I reached out and gently caressed her cheek, my touch light and tender. In her slumber, she seemed to sense my touch and shifted slightly, as if finding a more comfortable position. I couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for her, even in her sleep.
