By his side

The lights in the room were out and in the moonlight cascading inside the room through the gap between the curtains, one could see two silhouettes lying entangled on the bed. 

Daisy was lying on top of Ryle, her chin resting on his chest while Ryle had one of his palms resting on her back. His other hand was positioned under his head. The hand that he had placed on her back shifted with gradual movements as his fingers stroked her bare back gently. 

''Where is Angel?" Ryle questioned in the silence. He had asked the question before but they had an argument that night and she stormed off without talking to me. 

''She is with Maxim and Diana,'' Daisy lowered her eyes. 

Ryle sighed.

He missed his little doll already. The words were at the tip of his tongue but looking at Daisy's forlorn face, he did not voice them out.
