Alex quietly stepped out of the mansion into the garden.
He bent down almost theatrically, brushing his fingers across the grass and flowers, taking in their scent for a moment longer than necessary.

'Sometimes, it's good to stop… and enjoy the moment.'
A faint smile touched his lips.
'Though, it's still not quite as good as resting beneath Lord Bonsai's crown. But this will do.'
Before he knew it, he drifted off into slumberland.

"Why are you poking my face, milady?" Alex asked, catching the wandering finger.
