Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Audrey:

I woke up to Vladimir's hand running over my back.

I raised myself to find that he was awake. The two of us were asleep on the couch that was in the library.

How I slept and when I did not know. All I knew was that I felt safe. His eyes met mine as I looked up, and when he leaned in, connecting his lips with my own, I couldn't help small smile formed on my lips.

"Good morning." He said gently. His voice was still deep of sleep.

"Good morning," I said, smiling at him.

I looked around us at the library and I couldn't help but find myself smiling. The two of us were alone, and though I knew that we needed to open up soon, the idea of me sleeping in his arms the way that I did was something that I liked.

His eyes met mine, and I could swear that they softened. They softened in a way that I have never seen before.

"How did you sleep?" He asked softly.

"Well, I slept well, thank you. And you?"
