He let out a long sigh, leaning back against the bed. The room felt colder than usual, though he wasn't sure why.
With his arm draped over his eyes, Adrian let the quiet take over.
But even as he drifted off to sleep, the uneasy feeling never fully left him.
Milo walked happily down the hall, clutching his pillow tightly to his chest. His steps were light, and his heart felt warm at the thought of snuggling up next to Ruby.
But as he approached Ruby's room, his expression shifted. The door was closed.
He blinked, tilting his head slightly. Did she fall asleep already?
No, she's probably waiting for me, he reassured himself, his cheeks flushing a little as he shyly knocked on the door.
"Wife…?" Milo called softly, his voice filled with hope.
Silence.
He knocked again, a little louder this time. "Wife?"
No response.
