Venus woke up feeling unusually refreshed. The absence of nightmares left her well-rested, though she noticed Odin was no longer beside her. After stretching and savoring the rare peacefulness, she headed to the washroom to get ready for the day.
Once prepared, Venus made her way downstairs, where she found Odin sitting with his parents. He had changed clothes, which meant he must have left earlier and returned before she woke.
"Venus is here!" Norman called out with a warm laugh, his eyes lighting up as she appeared.
Odin stood as she descended the stairs, a small smile playing on his lips. Though Venus was dressed simply, something about her presence caught his attention, making her seem even more beautiful in his eyes.
Venus greeted her parents first, then curtsied politely in Odin's direction.
"Since when have we started with such formalities?" Odin teased, stepping closer to her, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
