Aurelia Shaw gathers her scattered thoughts, her long and fine eyelashes covering deep eyes, as she gets up and returns to Nightshade Residence.
Mason Nightshade is still asleep.
Mason is a light sleeper, any slight movement would wake him up, a result of years of battle and dealing with assassins sent by enemies. Yet, when holding Aurelia, he sleeps soundly, inhaling the fragrance mixed with her body wash, which acts as a soothing aroma for him.
Aurelia sets the necklace down, turns back to see the sleeping Mason, noticing his gaunt chin, handsome face, her lips curling into a smile involuntarily. Her fingers run along the high bridge of his nose, rubbing and pinching it playfully.
No matter how deeply Mason sleeps, he's awakened by her little actions.
