Sunlight spilled across the room, reflecting off the water and dancing along the walls. I woke to the sound of waves and the steady warmth of Dominic beside me. For a moment, I didn’t move. I just watched him.

“Where do you think you’re going?” he murmured, his voice rough with sleep.
I smiled faintly. “Nowhere.”
“Good.” He pulled me closer without even opening his eyes. I let out a soft laugh.
“You’re very clingy this morning.” I teased.
“Only with you.” He confessed, kissing my lips. There it was again. That quiet sincerity that caught me off guard every time
