The night had fallen outside when Aselia and Xiran left Rivan's office building. Although Aselia was feeling hungry she felt more tired and her head began to dangle. She hadn't slept the previous night because of her flight and anticipation.
Xiran observed her sideways with a content smile on his face as her eyes drooped and she struggled to stay awake even though she tried. Before she could bump her head into the side door of the car, Xiran extended his hand and steadied her head so she could rest peacefully on his hand while he drove with the other one.
Reaching back, he parked the car, and getting out he gently carried her inside while ordering the waiting Carios to bring the food to Aselia's room. Aselia woke up as he carried her inside but snuggled close to his heat and warmness.
