The soft and gentle breeze blew past the open window. Inside the guest room, William opened his eyes and saw Belle's sleeping face.
The black-haired beauty was sound asleep, and her sleeper breaths told him that it would take a while before she woke up.
William gazed at her. If possible, he wanted to touch and caress her face, but if he did that, there was a chance that she would wake up due to his meddling.
The Half-Elf didn't want that to happen. For Belle, only a year had passed since that fateful day in the countryside. The day when the two of them bid each other goodbye, without knowing when the two of them would see each other again.
The memories of what happened a few hours ago resurfaced in William's memory, and it made him slightly embarrassed.
He had never been a cry baby, but for the past year, he couldn't remember how many times he had cried due to the things that he had experienced.
