He snored softly in my arms. He looked so peaceful with his eyes shut, his hair falling gracefully over his face as he snuggled close to me. He'd fallen asleep an hour after Abby had left. We'd talked for a while, nothing too serious, or at least I'd tried to keep it from serious topics. It hadn't worked for long. I'd started off with just stories of what I'd been up too since he left.

I told him about having new guardians, and how much I'd hated it at first, but didn't mind it much when I got to know Davin, Michael and Kai. He'd commented how weird it was that his brother's team were guarding me now, but otherwise he didn't say much on the subject. I told him about how I'd been continuing my lessons with Scarlet, and how I'd been improving. He'd kissed my forehead and told me that he knew I would.
