As Lucius walked into the room while rubbing the towel in his damp hair, he found Layla setting the table with the breakfast meals. He was over the moon to see her and let the towel rest on the chair.

Walking to her, Lucius wrapped her both arms around her from behind after she stood straight and buried his face in the crook of her neck.

"Lucius," she whispered his name like a prayer and he did the same, "Layla."

"You made it," she said turning around to face him, her hands moving to his shoulders.

"All because of you," he answered.

"And the others too," Layla stated.

"Yes." Lucius nodded at her. "Let's have the breakfast then. I am famished," he said with a smile.

The two of them were quick to sit on the couch and enjoyed the meal together. "Now, go to bed and sleep. I'll take them downstairs," Layla instructed him while collecting the dishes on the tray.

"I can help you," Lucius insisted, but she refused him plainly.
