Damian woke up to the soft and gentle touch caressing his face. He slowly opened his eyes and found Calista beaming at him. His mind was blown as she greeted him with a bright smile, which she would not usually do. For the duke, seeing the lady's smile was a treat.
"You're awake. Don't you want to sleep some more?" Calista asked, withdrawing her hand from his face only for him to hold and press it on his cheek. Calista's heartbeat skipped a beat when the duke leaned on her touch.
"I don't know how this happened, but I'm glad to wake up with you by my side," Damian mumbled, thinking maybe he was just dreaming. He closed his eyes again and nuzzled his face in the lady's soft hand. It was too good to be true, so he rather stay asleep for more.
"You're glad so you're going back to sleep?" Calista whispered, inching her face close to his. A brief smirk reflected on her lips when the duke's eyes widened in shock.
