Sunny woke up from the warm touch of sunshine on his bare chest. Sunlight was pouring through the curtains, the white fabric murmuring quietly as the gentle wind made it stream and flutter.
He remained motionless for a while, basking in the warmth and the softness of the bed. It was truly one of life's greatest joys, to wake up with a smile on his face.
A few moments later, he turned his head and looked at Nephis, who was sleeping peacefully by his side. Her silver hair was scattered across the pillow, and her beautiful face was blissfully calm and endearingly vulnerable as she slept.
He enjoyed the view for a few minutes, not in a hurry to wake her up.
Opening the Dream Gate for the Night Garden had taken a lot out of her yesterday. So, she deserved some rest.
He would have loved to share the burden of yesterday's undertaking, but sadly, that was something only Nephis could have done.
