The food won

Ryn was sitting on the balcony while hugging her knees close to her chest when she felt a presence. She did not need to turn to check who it was. Just by smelling the familiar scent, she knew who it was.

"Still tired?" Jeremy asked. He sat beside her and pulled her so her back was against his front. He wrapped his arms around her and looked at the scenery outside. No wonder she was so quiet. He thought she went straight to sleep and came to check on her but instead found her here staring at the sea.

"Hmm…"

"Why don't you have a nap? I'll wake you up for lunch. And then we can take the boat," he suggested.

Ryn rubbed herself against him comfortably. She was tired, yes, but she did not want to sleep only to have to wake up a few minutes later. Besides, looking at the sea actually made her feel better.

He kissed the top of her head, feeling happy just to smell her fragrance so close. He felt so peaceful having her in his arms. This was heaven.
