All She Has To Do Is Extend Her Hand

Retrieving her hand from his chest, Hera sat upright cross-legged. He looked so peaceful while sleeping, silky hair scattered all over his forehead, dark, thick, fluffy eyelashes fanning his cheeks. His lips remained closed, pressed together while he breathed softly through his nose. 

He looked so proper and sophisticated with his mannerisms even while asleep. Hera had never heard him snore, but he had mentioned a few times, teasing her that when she was in a deep sleep, her lips part and she snores. 

Subconsciously, Hera's lips stretched into a smile. 

Her eyes got smaller while her smile grew wider. She hadn't realised there were tears in her eyes until the salty, transparent pearls slipped out of her eyelids, running down her plump rosy cheeks. Wiping the trace of tears from her cheeks, Hera sniffed as discreetly as she could because her Hunter was a light sleeper. The slightest of the sound would disturb his sleep.
