Back

"I am back!" A loud yet familiar voice called out just when Nesryn's eyelids started drooping. In an instant, her body shot right back up in a sitting position, eyes scanning the room and getting used to the light until it landed on the familiar figure of her husband.

Azriel let out a grimace upon seeing that he had startled his beloved, who seemed to be in the process of falling asleep. With a slightly cautious step, he silently made his way inside, to the point of almost tiptoeing as he placed down his coat and bag, as well as a couple of bags of souvenirs that he had bought for Nesryn.
