A Packed Morning (2)

Shio was still asleep when I arrived at her apartment. I did knock first in case but in the end, I used the key to enter.

I found her in the bedroom, still sleeping peacefully with a strange posture. She’s lying on her stomach with her feet dangling off the bed. She’s in too deep of a sleep that she probably hadn’t moved since falling asleep last night.

Her bag was on the floor so I picked it up first and put it on the corner before approaching her.

I deliberated whether to wake her up or not but I decided against it in the end. Judging that she needed more rest, I just carefully fixed her sleeping posture; bringing her to the middle of the bed and covering her with a blanket.

She momentarily woke up. Although still in a half-asleep state, she immediately recognized me as a refreshing smile bloomed on her lips. She pulled me in her embrace before eventually falling asleep again.

When she wakes up later, she’ll probably believe that it is all just part of her dream.
