Chapter 41: First Few Hours

The champagne bottle sits empty in the ice bucket as we lean on the ledge, sipping on the last of our bubbly in comfortable silence. Exhaustion has taken hold of us both, yet neither of us has moved towards the bedroom. I tap on Saz's shoulder with a yawn as he sways, half asleep. "I think we should go to bed now."

He nods, stifling a yawn himself. "Yeah. Okay."

We leave our empty glasses on the railing and shuffle towards the French doors. The lights still shine on the rose petals. The two swan-shaped towels sit slumped in the center of the sheets. I transfer them to the chair in the corner and turn to find a naked Saz standing at the edge of the bed. He throws back the covers with a yawn and plops down.

"Turn off the light before you hop in," Saz mumbles, snuggling into the sheets.
