Aurora Sterling slept in for the entire morning. By the time she opened her eyes again, it was already afternoon.
The girl stretched comfortably. Just as she was about to get up and wash, she heard the sound of steady breathing beside her. Turning her head, she saw Damien Valerius's stunningly handsome face.
The man was sound asleep, his breathing even and strong. His long eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time.
Aurora Sterling turned over very gently, coming face-to-face with the sleeping Damien Valerius.
'When did he get back? I was so deeply asleep, I didn't even notice.'
Gazing at Damien Valerius's sleeping face, Aurora Sterling felt a pang of heartache. 'He must be exhausted after everything that's happened since yesterday. It seems like he's always the one taking care of me, and I'm just like a little princess, accepting his care and concern as if it's my due.'
'When I think about it, I haven't really done anything meaningful for him.'
