The following day Jen woke up late as she had predicted. Lucas had rolled her body into so many positions last night that she was not surprised that she woke up with sore muscles. The space next to her was empty and she could hear the sound of the shower running.
She hugged the duvet that had been covering her and looked up at the ceiling with a dazed expression. Tonight, they were going to meet with their friends for a farewell party they were holding for Lucas, and they were going to drop him off at the airport as a collective the next day.
As she was wallowing in her own thoughts, she heard the bathroom door open and saw Lucas walk out while drying his hair with a towel.
"Awake?" Lucas asked when her sleepy gaze met his own.
"Mmmh," Jen answered as she yawned and rubbed her watering eyes. Lucas had a hard time resisting this sight, so he went to her side of the bed and sat down next to her.
Happy New Year, my dear readers. I hope 2021 will be a more prosperous and enjoyable year for all of us.
