Lexi woke up next to Ethan Lu. The instant she saw his beautiful side profile, her gaze softened. However, no matter how she was relieved to see him early in the morning, her heart felt heavy. 

"Mhmm…" Turning to his side, his hand came to life and instantly wrapped around her, pulling her closer to his warm embrace.

"...morning." He softly greeted with his eyes still closed. His hand stroked her back as if comforting her. 

"Mhmm, goodmorning." Trying to throw the heavy emotion on the back of her mind, Lexi snuggled in his chest like a clingy kitten. Lexi's unexpected response made Ethan Lu creased his brows as his lids slowly opened; the hands that was rubbing on her back came into a pause. 

"How are you feeling?" 

"Sleepy—" Just when Lexi subtly smile, memories from last night came rushing inside her head that made her abruptly stop.
