Yesterday felt like a distant nightmare, yet the sight of him next to me brought a sense of calm. With him around, it felt like we could handle anything.
I gently brushed away his still long bangs from his eyes, careful not to wake him. Despite the chaos of yesterday, he looked peaceful now, his breathing steady and slow. I allowed myself a moment to simply watch him, feeling grateful for his presence.

Saffron stirred, his steely purple eyes fluttering open. He blinked a few times before his gaze focused on me, and a sleepy smile spread across his face. "Morning, Rose," he said, his voice still heavy with sleep.
