章節 389: Good morning

When Evie opened her eyes and re-joined the waking world, Gavriel's peaceful and angelic face greeted her good morning. He was facing her as he breathed steadily in his slumber, his arm loosely wrapped around her, cuddling her in his arms. Evie breathed in deeply the warm cottony scent of their bedsheets and revelled in the warmth and security of his embrace. 

She had always longed for this simple kind of pleasure, just them, cuddling contentedly in each other's embrace like this. All she wanted was to wake up every morning just like this, with him falling asleep next to her and waking up to have each other as the first face they see for the day. That was the simple pleasures of life she had always dreamt of.

For a long while, Evie did not move but stayed where she was just taking in the sights. She remained still and enjoyed her beloved's sleeping face, and it was just amazing how calming he was for her heart.
