“How long do you plan to sleep?” Ethan asked.
“I don’t know,” Nicole replied. “I just feel so tired. But, I’ll wake up eventually. If I don’t… you know where to find me.”
Ethan nodded. “Very well. If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll just go and wake you up again.”
Nicole smiled. “You should go back now. I’m sure the Fomorians will be there when you return.”
“One problem after the other.” Ethan could only shake his head helplessly. “After this, I plan to get some rest as well.”
“Good idea,” Nicole commented. “You can become my bed warmer, and warm me up.”
“You’ll like that, won’t you?”
“Mmm. You’re a good bed warmer, Ethan.”
The young man felt something tug in his heart, so he lowered his head to kiss Nicole’s forehead to bid her a good sleep.
“Wake up soon,” Ethan said.
“No promises,” Nicole replied. “Just wake me up again with a kiss, Mister Ghost.”
