The next day…
Matthew's eyes beneath his eyelids flickered before they slowly opened. The moment he did, Zoey's bright front welcomed his eyes.
"Goodmorning," She greeted him. "Life is so unfair that you still look good, even in the mornings."
Zoey was cupping her cheeks, her elbow propped on the pillow as the side of her lips curled into a wide grin. She was in a very good mood which one could distinguish immediately with the high energy circling around her.
"Morning," Matthew greeted back as he reached his hand out to her and pinched her cheek lightly.
Slowly, the side of his lips tilted into a subtle smile. He had been waking up next to her for quite a while. But this was the very first time in a long time that he had truly appreciated this moment. It was because the love he invested in her from this lifetime and the previous one combined together.
