Caius woke up first with a smug look on his face. He kissed the top of her head as Rose lay naked on his chest. She stirred but didn't wake up; he could hear her breathing softly.
He wished he could see her face, but he didn't want to move to avoid waking her up, so he stayed as still as possible.
He could feel her breath on his chest, and Caius had to fight the urge not to wrap his arms around her.
The day before, he was worried he would not see her for a while or worse never see her again, and right now, here she was fast asleep on his chest.
He still couldn't believe she was going to marry him. Caius was sad they couldn't have an extravagant wedding just yet, but he was going to marry her in secret as quickly as he could.
He would need at least a day to make preparations and draft documents so no one could deny their union. Caius couldn't wait; he was brimming with so much excitement.
