EMILY’S POV
I slowly stirred awake, my body wrapped with the warmth of the soft sheets. And then it hit me hard-the memory of last night and what happened between Christian and I.
I opened my eyes slowly to find Christian's sleeping form beside me, his face peaceful.
Sunlight filtered into the room through the curtains, casting a warm glow on his face.
I stared at him for a moment, my gaze flickering over his features, down to his slightly parted lips.
My heart clenched at the familiar sight, watching him like this took me back to five years ago since I last woke up beside him.
And for a fleeting moment, it felt like none of the time existed and it was all the same. The smile dropped from my face when reality hit me– Lucy, my sister and her pregnancy for Christian.
Christian shifted slightly, his eyes fluttering open and I snapped my eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. I just wasn't ready to face him after last night.
