Anastasia stretched her arms in a lethargic manner and then opened her eyes when her sleep was disturbed by the sweet morning kiss from her husband.

“Did I wake you?” Caspian stared into Anastasia’s emerald-green eyes with a slightly guilty look on his face. “I thought I was being stealthy.”

Anastasia closed her eyes again but smiled at her husband. She didn’t want him to feel bad for being sweet. “It’s okay. It’s already time for me to get up.”

Caspian leaned in again and then kissed his wife once more, properly, now that he had already woken her up. However, seeing how she still looked tired, he asked, “Why don’t you try to sleep for some more time? You look like you could use more sleep?”

Although Anastasia got a full night’s sleep, it was true that she was still feeling tired before even getting up from bed.
