Darius had barely recalled the events that had happened after. He had not realised how exhausted he had been to have fallen asleep in Serena's lap or so she said. He barely believed her words but opening his eyes to the rising sun with Serena's palm pressed firmly to his face was enough proof.
He couldn't imagine Serena lugging him around, while she was leanly built she did not come off as the type to be lugging around heavy work much less a man like him. Darius turned to her, she barely stirred and she breathed in and out evenly. A small smile spread across his lips and then pushed himself closer to hold her.
Darius let out a yawn, he did not fight against his body. Try as he could, mountains of work appeared in his head. He bit back a groan and slumped back into bed, what would he give to skip out on his duty and stay in bed. He had already done too much by sacrificing the previous day.
When he opened his eyes, he found groggy green eyes staring back at him.
