THEIR LOVELY MORNING

As Astrid slowly opened her eyes, she was met with a wave of soreness that seemed to radiate throughout her entire body. 

She winced, as she recalled the events of the previous night. She wouldn't lie she had enjoyed every bit of it, and she had no regret of it.

Speaking about that, she recalled Julain, "Julian.." she whispered.

She looked around, taking in her surroundings, and noticed that the bed sheets had been changed. She was also wearing a comfortable pair of pajamas, which she had no recollection of putting on. She needed no one to explain to her that Julian was behind it.

Astrid's eyes scanned the room, searching for Julian, but he was nowhere to be found. 

She felt a pang of sadness and loneliness, wishing that he was beside her. She tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through her body, making her gasp.

As she lay back down, her eyes fell upon a beautiful necklace that adorned her neck.
