The next morning, Luke woke earlier than usual.
"Mm..." He stretched his arms and yawned, quickly muffling the sound so he would not disturb the others.
Beside him, Laila was sound asleep, her lips slightly parted as the soft sound of her snoring reached his ears.
A smile touched his lips. He gently tapped his index finger against the tip of her nose before lowering his gaze to the other two women.
Ginna slept perfectly straight, as though even the slightest adjustment to her position would somehow be a blow to her pride. And Monica... well, she was beautiful even in sleep.
Her hair had fallen across her eyes, partially obscuring her face. Her soft lips were slightly parted, while her legs rested apart in the comfortable position she had settled into sometime during the night.
