Chapter 214: Dynamic duo (2)

Alessandra slowly opened her eyes to the rays of the sun shining down on her from the window. They had both fallen asleep, forgetting to pull the curtain across and eat dinner.

Alessandra tried to shift her body only to realize the strong grip around her waist. With how close Edgar intended they should sleep, she felt like a teddy bear being squeezed by a child. 

Alessandra thought it must have been comforting for Edgar to lay like this with her. He held her as if she would disappear in the middle of the night. His warmth throughout the night was comforting but in the morning it was hard for her to make a grand escape from the bed.

"Go back to sleep," she heard Edgar's voice behind her.

Alessandra turned her head and asked, "How long have you been awake?" 

"Since the sky changed. No one has returned yet as it is still early. You can rest for a bit more," Edgar replied.
