Bab 809: Uninvited Guests

Morning came relatively fast, considering half the night had already passed before he fell asleep, but Alex still woke up feeling refreshed.

As he opened his eyes, the morning sunlight brushing off his cheek, he noticed Kary was still lying in bed, her eyes open, watching his peaceful face in silence.

"Good mo—Oof!" Alex started saying before a punch hit his gut.

"That's for turning me away yesterday," Kary groaned.

Then she kissed him tenderly.

"And that's because I missed you so much…" she whispered when their lips parted.

Alex smiled at her, embraced her, and kissed her forehead.

"I missed you too. Although, I imagine it was only once I woke up that I started missing you. But I missed you nonetheless."

He kept her close, hugging her tightly for a few minutes as he breathed in her hair, enjoying the flowery smell of her shampoo, which hadn't graced his nostrils in so long.
