SICK

Winter was drawing near and the lands were getting cold.

The lights seeped through the grey curtains as it landed on the pair on the bed.

Skyler's eyes opened as he tried to adjust to the early lighting. He couldn't remember the last time he had slept like this. Occasionally he would be awake before sunrise but today was different and it was because she was here.

His gaze shifted to the beauty in his arms and a smile curved on his face. His arm was still on her waist and even though there was a little distance between them he was still able to see her face.

Her hair was scattered on the grey matress as she continued to sleep soundlessly. His heart fluttered with the feeling of having her in his arms again. This was a feeling that he wouldn't trade for the whole world.

He continued to look at her as he admired her early morning beauty, he couldn't resist and he leaned closer to leave a gentle kiss on her forehead.
