171 - Grateful Days

As the sun began to rise, Ryan opened a portal to his home and fell into his own bed. Both he and Alice were completely exhausted, but with the nonexistent time difference between the two worlds, the two returned while it was still night.

"Huh? What?" Ryan said as he slowly opened his eyes. The window blinds were open and a sweet smell of food was wafting in through his bedroom door. Confused, he sat up in bed and looked both ways.

'She's still asleep' he thought. Alice was next to him, completely naked and with her blonde hair in disarray. Her face was completely serene, although she still had a little makeup smeared on her face. Running his hand through her hair, he brought a few locks behind her ear, as he leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek.
