The gentle morning light seeped through the curtains, casting a soft golden hue across the room.
Brandon was still nestled comfortably against Ravene and his arms were wrapped around her waist, his head resting against her chest.
However, the peace was soon disturbed by the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door.
Knock. Knock.
"Kael? Ravene?" Elize's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Are you two awake yet?"
Brandon groaned softly, burying his face deeper into Ravene's warmth, unwilling to move.
Ravene stirred slightly, but she didn't wake and shifted her position to hold him even tighter.
When no response came, Elize sighed and slowly pushed the door open.
The sight before her made her pause for a moment.
Brandon and Ravene were curled up together beneath the blanket, tangled in each other's embrace like two pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly.
His arms were locked protectively around her, and her fingers still rested in his hair.
