After some time passed, Ava returned to inform Ethan that his bath was ready. With no delay, he strode toward the bathroom to immerse himself in the warm water.
Following an extended bath, Ethan emerged from the bathroom to find that Ava had already arranged his dinner. Without a second thought, he sat down and eagerly began his meal.
Post-dinner, Ethan and Ava enjoyed a cozy cuddling, exchanging light-hearted banter before deciding it was time to retire for the evening.
Fortunately, the night was free from Ava's sob, and Ethan's mind was unburdened by heavy thoughts, allowing him to drift into slumber with relative ease.
He was acutely aware of the daunting day that lay ahead, one that promised to be more strenuous than today. A restful night's sleep seemed vital, a necessary buffer against the looming challenges of tomorrow.
