Sara woke up the next morning surprised that she didn't have any haunting dreams. She was right after all, Alex had scared her to sleep and she … thing of Alex, it was then she registered the hand still draped around her what's and the warmth underneath her.
'It's you, isn't it?' She asked in her head. Taking a deep, shallow breath, she tried to slip off his embrace without waking him.
"Awake already?" She heard his voice and paused immediately. How long has he been awake?
"Mm…hmm," she nodded and sat up when his hold around her loosened. "Good morning," she said.
Alex watches her and remembers her reaction the first time she woke up in his arms and today there was a stark difference and he couldn't help the wide smile that made its way out. This was what they called PROGRESS.
She tilted her head not understanding the reason for such a wide grin so early in the morning.
