While Valentina was planning world domination, Ember was waking up in a soft bed. Because of the filtering, the base provided the sky looked nothing like its usual bruised self. The purple and orange colours no longer plagued her vision.
The air in the room was clean and cool. Nothing like the air outside that was slowly beginning to suffocate. The sound of the Eyrie itself was a welcome sound. As long as she did not have to look at the desolate streets and wander around without a proper shower, she was happy.
She felt Aiden's arm on her waist. It was heavy. His body was a furnace. He was still asleep. His face was relaxed. It was the first time in what felt like a lifetime since she had seen him so relaxed. Ember couldn't help smiling.
