“Good morning.” Leon said with a grin down to his beloved in his arms. His hand still gently petting her head as she nuzzled into his chest; a gentle sigh left him as he closed his head and leaned against the headboard. When she asked how he slept or if he slept at all; he opened his eyes and looked down at her. Tilting his head to one side, he watched her closely for a moment with his amber-golden eyes before a relaxed smile moved across his fine lips.

“I slept, and I slept the best I ever had.” He said with a nod as he scooped her up onto his lap once more holding her close. “My little goldfish actually made me tired.” A grin moved across his face as he nuzzled his face into her shoulder. His motions were gentle as he wrapped the blanket around their form together and gently rubbed her bare back. The night that they had spent together meant a lot and still seeing the ring on her finger was all the more reassuring that this was real.

“Are you hungry?” His voice was softer than normal, as he delicately held the one he loved in his arms.
