Small Gathering

After more than a week of staying in the hospital, Erick would be discharged today. Erick's parents processed all the things needed before they left the hospital.

They were now heading home. Raymond was the one driving and Sarah seated on the front passenger seat while the couple was seating on the back.

"Do you want to take a nap first?" Elle asked Erick as she signaled him to lean on her shoulder.

Erick smiled at her and nodded before he moved closer to Elle as he lay his head on her shoulder.

He could smell her vanilla scent. Her sweet familiar fragrance gave him warmth and comfort. He closed his eyes, satisfied with their closeness.

Elle's free hand touched Erick's face and caressed it for a while. When Erick felt her touch, he could not stop himself from smiling.

"I said sleep." She uttered to him softly, as she felt Erick's face stretched since his lips curled up into a smile.
