Nick stepped into the hotel room, wiping the sweat off his brow with a small towel. He'd gotten up early to hit the gym, wanting to squeeze in a quick workout before the day kicked off. He thought about waking Amelia to join him but decided against it. She deserved her rest.
His eyes softened as they fell on Amelia, still fast asleep, curled up under the covers. The sunlight creeping through the curtains painted her skin with a soft, warm glow. Nick glanced at the clock—it was already eight. She'd need to wake up soon if they were going to make it to breakfast.
"Amy, you wanna stay here longer or head back home?" Nick asked softly, placing a kiss on her forehead. Amelia stirred, slowly waking up as the sunlight hit her face. She squinted, blinking against the brightness, then stretched lazily, groaning as she tried to shake off the sleep.
