I opened my eyes in the morning to see Mia still sleeping soundly by my side. It had been a long time since I had seen her so comfortable and relaxed like this.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel for her. She's usually one of the first to get up and refuses to miss her early morning training.
She also has the best hearing in the kingdom, so the noises of frantic knocking on the door and the loud commotion that permeated the castle and woke me up should have sounded way louder for her.
Yet, she was sleeping peacefully... I never thought I would see her so careless and at ease, and I burned the image in my mind.
I knew I had no choice, but instead of rushing to answer the door, I gently removed her hands from my body.
It was difficult to overcome the thought of leaving her alone again when she needed me by her side the most...
Agatha: "...Did I interrupt something?"
Her eyes were filled with suspicion, and I couldn't blame her for it.
