The night stretched far too long for everyone waiting. It was bound to be a restless night except for two people; Xiu and Darren. Because Darren was under the influence of sedatives while Xiu was way too laid back in Darren's arms. How could she not sleep peacefully? In fact, this had to be one of the most peaceful sleep she had in this body.
Perhaps that's why when she woke up, she was feeling refreshed and exceptionally cheery. Her eyes had the resolve to face anything boldly. She continued to stare at Darren's face who was still sleeping and couldn't help smiling like an idiot. Slowly, out of habit, her finger started touching his face. From his eyebrows to his nose, his cheekbones to his chin. Finally, it rested on his lips.
She didn't move it for a long time. She let her finger linger over his lips where she could even feel his hot breath fanning burning her skin.
