Chapter 309: Discovery (1)

The night crept on with the moon and the stars shining in the sky. In the stillness of the room, Damien turned the heater on to allow Katherine to sleep more peacefully. She fell asleep sometime after Damien started humming randomly. He was nowhere near sleepy but laying next to her made him feel as though he was dreaming.

He watched as she softly snored, perfectly comfortable with his presence despite her trying to hide it when she's awake. Carefully, he brushed her hair away from her face and she shifted in her sleep, subconsciously pulling his t-shirt toward her.

Damien stilled before he relented and let her pull him closer. He was only half surprised when she buried her face in his chest, hugged him closer, and trapped him with her leg—just like she used to. She couldn't lie in her sleep. She missed him. She missed this. It was too natural for her to do so.
