Chapter 76: Hope and resilience
The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as Emma and Ethan stirred from their peaceful slumber. As they opened their eyes, they exchanged soft smiles, their love radiating between them.
"Good morning, my love," Ethan whispered, his voice filled with warmth. "I hope you slept well."
Emma stretched her limbs and nestled closer to him, savoring the comfort of their embrace. "I slept like a dream, Ethan. Being in your arms makes everything feel right."
They lingered in bed for a while, their conversation weaving through lighthearted banter and tender moments of affection. It was a precious time, a sanctuary where they could simply be themselves, free from the demands of the outside world.
