The next morning, I awoke to the sound of birds chirping outside the window and the warmth of Seraphina's embrace. I smiled, feeling incredibly grateful for everything we had been through and everything we had yet to face. I turned to look at Seraphina, her face peaceful in sleep, and gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her forehead.
"Good morning, my love," I whispered softly.
Seraphina stirred, a sleepy smile spreading across her face. "Good morning," she murmured, her voice husky with sleep. "Did you sleep well?"
"I did," I replied, snuggling closer to her. "It feels so good to wake up next to you."
She chuckled and kissed my forehead. "Same here. Let's stay in bed all day."
I giggled. "As tempting as that sounds, we should probably get up. We have things to do."
Seraphina pouted playfully. "Alright, but only if we can make breakfast together."
"Deal," I said, giving her a quick kiss before reluctantly pulling myself out of bed.
