Hello everyone! If you came quickly to read this chapter when it came out, sorry, I got mixed up updating my novels, and I pasted the chapter on the wrong novel!
Hopefully you didn't, but if you read and were confused, it's fixed now. Thank you for your patience and understanding! And for the comments to let me know.
Here's the real chapter. I had to add a little bit of fluff to it; it was going to be shorter, but it had to have the same size as the previous text, and it was a long one. I tried not to make it overbearing, tho!

The morning felt quieter than usual.
Not in a heavy way. It was not like the silence that sometimes crept in and curled around us, waiting to smother anything warm or light. This was different. Softer. Lighter. Like something had shifted just slightly in the atmosphere.
