Hazel stirred around in bed, awoken by the sound of birds. She reached her hand over beside her to touch Tobias and felt nothing.
Hazel opened her eyes to look for him as she feared she might have overslept. The bed was empty with Tobias's side neatly put together like he had not been there for hours.
"No need to get ready to run, Hazel. I am here."
Hazel propped herself up and looked at the bottom of the bed where Tobias was placing a robe. He was already wearing a yellow robe. "Did you soak already?"
"No. I am waiting to do that with you. I was just about to wake you. I hate to rush you, but I need you to put on this robe over my shirt. It won't be long before they make their way here to see the bed. Once they leave, we can soak together," said Tobias, looking forward to that moment.
As fun as it was to have Hazel asleep in his arms, there was much to prepare so he had gotten out of bed early.
