One big happy family

The next morning, I woke up in Marianne's bed alone. The sun was already high in the sky and the room was brightly lit. I cracked my neck as I sat on the bed, with my one long leg on the floor. I couldn't believe I had actually slept this long. I couldn't even remember the last time I slept to the point that my neck needed to be stretched like this upon waking up. All I had was nightmares while sleeping so I almost woke up with the first ray of the sun to escape from them. But last night was so peaceful that i didn't even realise when i fell asleep hugging her in my arms.

A disbelieving smirk curved on my lips as I ran my fingers through my hair and he plopped on the bed again, my arms wide and with one leg still on the floor.

I stared at the ceiling and he couldn't stop himself from smiling. I remembered what happened last night and shook my head. I had actually asked her to give me another chance in that condition and she even accepted it.
