She Was Innocent

"I love you," Mark whispered as he tightened his hold on Elena. 

Lying on his side and bringing the back of the woman he loved the most to his chest was sure the best feeling.

"I love you," Elena whispered sleepily.

The following day when Elena woke up, the side of her bed was empty. Thinking that Mark must have gone to work out, she took her time washing up in the bathroom only for her to walk into the closet and see him already dressed casually.

"Let's have breakfast with your mum today," he smiled as he reached her side to kiss the corner of her mouth.

"Good morning," Elena greeted, receiving his kiss wholeheartedly. "Did Mia call?" she inquired.

It wouldn't be a surprise if the little girl was already awake by this time and asking her parents to come over.
