[Please note: We're still in Kaiden's POV - the morning he visited Senara in her bedroom]

"You're up early," Senara said as she sat beside me, facing me. "Did you have trouble sleeping?"

"No. For some reason, I just woke up early. Maybe because I missed you?"

Senara's eyes widened, probably surprised with me flirting so early in the morning. Ha-ha. Her little reactions were always so cute I couldn't help but smile.

"O-Oh. Well, ahm, I missed you too," she confessed shyly, biting her lips and averting her gaze.

"Really?"

"Huh? Of course."

"Then, can I hug you?"

"What? S-Sure."

I moved closer to her and embraced her tight as I said I would. Ahhh… hugging her was really nice. How I wish I could sleep every night hugging her like this.
