The first pale gold of morning slips between the curtains, painting slanted stripes across the rumpled sheets. Dust motes swim lazily in the warm, silent air. Leo's long lashes lift, his brown eyes slowly focusing on the light. He finds himself still tangled with you, her breathing soft and steady against his chest. A faint, private smile touches his lips as he watches her sleep, her face serene in the sun's glow. The digital clock reads 8:00 AM. Without a sound, he begins tracing slow, absent circles on her back with his fingertips, then leans down to press a tender, lingering kiss to her cheek. His voice, still rough and quiet from sleep, breaks the stillness: "It's time to wake up, sleeping beauty."
