章 88: Doughnuts

Lara woke up late. She couldn't remember when was the last time she could sleep so much.

She loved her cubs, and she found the way they clung to her adorable. But sleeping alone in bed was a whole new experience; she had forgotten how comfortable it could be.

She sat on the mattress and stretched her arms and back, moaning at her creaking bones. She turned to the window right above the bed, and her eyes widened at the view. The blue sea started somewhere near the bottom of the window, and it ended far away, where it met the sky and the morning sun. There was so much light, and she felt warm even just by looking at that scenery.

She didn't need to get up to look out, and she could see the beach where a few brave bathers were sunbathing. The glass didn't reflect much light, so it almost felt like being out.

She reached the handle and opened the window. The salty air met her face, and she smiled. It was a new sight and a new scent.
