The next morning arrived sooner than expected, its gentle rays streaming through the partially drawn blinds, casting a warm, inviting glow over our entwined bodies. Following our shared bath, I had fed Alana some gourmet mac & cheese from room service, and as we caddled in bed, she quickly succumbed to slumber, her form nestled closely against mine.

The sight of her wearing my ring only added to her allure. “I’m right here, Alec.” She leaned closer until her forehead met mine.
