The soft morning light filters through the curtains as Eric stirs, slowly waking up to the feeling of Mina nestled in his arms. The peaceful silence of the early morning hangs in the air, and for a moment, everything feels perfect. He looks down at Mina, her hair slightly tousled from sleep and the wild night before, her face relaxed and content, a small smile coating her lips.
It's a quiet happiness that fills him, a rare sense of peace.
Mina stirs, blinking her eyes open. When she sees him, she smiles softly, snuggling closer. "Good morning." She whispers, her voice still groggy from sleep.
"Morning to you too." Eric replies, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. "How do you feel?"
"Happy…" Mina says after thinking for a few seconds, her smile widening. "And starving."
Eric laughs lightly, still holding her close. "We can get room service before we start the day. We don't need to rush."
