The Blessing Of The Holy Empress
Simon sat on the couch in silence staring at Seri's peaceful sleeping face. He finally stood up and walked over to her side. He peered down at her face that had a goofy expression while she slept. The corners of his lips turned upwards.
He bent down and kissed her defenseless lips tenderly. He lifted his head to see her grumble in her sleep with her eyebrows pinched together. Then she reached out and slapped his face.
The force was so great it knocked him to the side.
He chuckled as he stood up rubbing his reddened cheek. He looked at her sleeping face with a smirk, "I fear that little shadow of yours may have been right."
