I was waiting

Nux woke up from a deep, restful sleep, his senses gradually returning to him as he slowly awakened. His eyes even completely open yet but soon, an extremely enchanting sight captured his attention.

Thyra, his beloved wife, lying beside him, her features softened in her deep slumber. Her hair spilled like a cascade of dark silk across the pillow, and her skin glowed with a soft radiance. In that moment, Nux couldn't help but marvel at the breathtakingly beautiful his wife was.

A small smile appeared on his face. Gently, he reached out to trace the delicate curve of her cheek with his fingertips, savoring the intimacy of the moment. Her lashes rested softly against her cheeks, and a contented smile graced her lips. She was still sleeping, however, as if her body sensed Nux's touch on its own and reacted to it.

Nux leaned in to place a tender kiss on Thyra's forehead, not disturbing her any further.
