It began in the middle of the night, after I had returned from the Divine Event.
In keeping with my promise to her, I summoned Mia to my room in the Celestial Palace so that we could enjoy cuddling for a few hours before going to sleep.
We had just hopped into bed, caressing each other's hair and sharing a few light kisses when Mia's ears perked up at the sound of footsteps behind the door.
Without wasting a breath, she pushed me away.
No matter how much I resisted, I wasn't strong enough to keep hugging her, but making her blush was enough to satisfy me.
Before she could catch her breath, someone began knocking on the door.
The knock was brief. It sounded almost shy, interrupting the silence.
Mia got up before me and told me to wait as she slowly made her way to the door.
Despite the palpable hesitation in their first knock, the person behind the door knocked again. This time, the sound echoed twice.
