The Morning

Caroline's mind was filled with all sorts of nonsensical thoughts as she repeatedly drew Edwin's facial features. In the end, she couldn't hold back. She straightened up slightly, leaned over, and gently planted a kiss on the side of Edwin's face.

After the kiss, Caroline was like a thief, covering her mouth and lying back down. However, she heard the sleeping Edwin, who was still sober, say, "I thought you would kiss me a few more times."

Caroline was shocked. Then, she gently punched his shoulder. "When did you wake up?"

"Not long after you woke up," answered Edwin.

Because of his childhood experience, Edwin had always been a light sleeper. So, when Caroline woke up and made some noise, he noticed that she had also woken up.

"I thought you'd give me a few more kisses." It was precisely because of this that he pretended to be asleep.
