Responsible

However, at this moment, Bella still can't believe what she is doing. How dare she kiss him first!? 

As if he knew that his wife was embarrassed, Tristan, with a deep understanding of her feelings, didn't try to tease her. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tighter, offering comfort.

"Goodnight..." he whispered, slightly resting his chin on the top of her head. He tried to sleep with a smile plastered on his face.

That night, it seemed so short.

When Tristan opened his eyes, the bright light from the window dazzled his eyes. After adjusting his vision to the light, he saw Bella still in his arms. A warm smile slowly emerged from his lips. He felt overwhelmed with gratitude for their newfound closeness.

Sleeping while hugging the woman he loved was not just a dream. Unexpectedly, he could now melt Bella's heart and have her accept him completely. He thought Bella still needed more time, but he was wrong.
