Cindy slowly drifted back to consciousness, feeling the warmth of Alexander's body wrapped around hers. The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. The events of the previous night felt like a distant memory, and the peace of the morning filled her with a deep sense of contentment.
She stirred gently, careful not to wake Alexander, who was still fast asleep beside her. His arms were securely wrapped around her, his chest rising and falling with the steady rhythm of his breathing. Cindy smiled softly as she gazed up at him, taking in the peaceful expression on his face. The worry and tension that had etched itself into his features the night before had melted away, leaving him looking relaxed and serene.
