Capítulo 231: Just stay with me a little longer

I woke up to the soft light of the morning filtering through the curtains, casting a warm, golden hue over the room. The first thing I felt was Carmen's steady heartbeat under my cheek, her chest rising and falling gently as she slept.

I shifted slightly, not wanting to wake her, but just enough to take in the sight of her. She looked peaceful, her face relaxed, the tension from the past few days smoothed away.

For a moment, I just lay there, savoring the tranquility of the morning, the warmth of her body against mine. It was one of those rare moments when everything felt perfect like the world outside didn't exist, and it was just the two of us in our own little bubble. I could have stayed there forever, wrapped up in her arms, feeling safe and loved.
