The gentle rocking of the hammock and the sound of birdsong greeted him in the subdued light of the forest. His head was still reeling from the previous day's excesses.
Without looking down, Maxime quickly guessed that he was several meters up, the hammock tied between two trees.
"How could this happen?" sighed Maxime, feeling groggy.
He opened his eyes, blinking several times to adjust his vision. The majestic trees towered around him, their leaves dancing gently in the wind.
A cool breeze caressed his face, bringing with it the earthy scent of the forest.
Then he felt a light weight on his chest.
Intrigued, he looked down to discover silky black hair splayed across his chest.
A woman, sleeping peacefully, her breathing even and calm. Her long hair cascaded down her torso, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding greenery.
