Bold and Panic

The light of the morning burst through the window, and the golden glow of the rising sun filled every inch of the bedroom.

In the bed, under a single thin blanket, lay two naked figures, their bodies intertwined in a peaceful embrace.

While they were still sleeping, a phone suddenly began to ring on the nightstand next to them.

"Mm…" Alice, still half asleep, took the phone from the nightstand, accepted the call, and placed it against her ear. "Yes…"

"Alice, are you awake?"

"Mom?" Alice rubbed her eyes and answered. "What time is it?"

"Way in the morning!" Serah's voice came from the phone. "What did you do so late last night that you were still sleeping?"

"Mm…" Alice's eyes slowly widened open, and she turned to look at the bed, blush returning to her face. "Nothing…"

With eyes still closed, Adam was peacefully sleeping beside her, naked like when he was born, but the thin blanket still slightly covered him.
