Favour Or Punishment?

When Talia woke up, her lips curved reflexively seeing Arthur lying next to her, deeply asleep. His hands were wrapped around her hands and there was a frown between his eyes. She gently pulled her hand and ran her index finger through his eyebrows and watched his frown disappear.

Placing a little kiss at the tip of his nose, she stood up carefully so not to disturb Arthur. It seemed like he didn't sleep well last night and he's dead tired. 

Placing her feet on the rug, she stretched herself. After her sleep, she felt really at peace - like she was standing still on a raft in the middle of a sea. She didn't feel abandoned, but that silence around her made her feel peaceful as her mind was clear.

She wanted to know what happened in the press meet today and searched for it in the computer and she wasn't surprised she was trending in Esteria and Rosandale that day.

But that's not what she wanted to learn.
