Rain woke up at dawn, her lips curling into a soft smile as she felt Alexander's warmth beside her. His arm was wrapped securely around her, holding her close. She glanced at their position and frowned slightly, wondering if he was uncomfortable. Carefully, she shifted, slipping away from his embrace with delicate precision.
For a moment, she stood by the bed, gazing down at him. His features were relaxed in a way she rarely saw, serene and peaceful. A tender smile tugged at her lips. It wasn't often she got to see him like this knowing he would wake up anytime, and it warmed her heart.
Noticing she was still in her business outfit from the night before, she decided to freshen up. Quietly, she grabbed one of her nightdresses, slipped into the bathroom, and took a quick shower. After brushing her teeth and drying her hair, she tiptoed back to bed, hoping to rejoin him without waking him up.
