When I woke up again, the sky outside the window had already begun to turn golden. Evening lights shimmered through the glass like tiny stars scattered across Draven's quiet estate.
I blinked, slowly adjusting. Hugo was no longer beside me, but a warm blanket was tucked around my shoulders. The twins had disappeared—probably running around somewhere with endless energy, as usual.
I stretched, feeling the heaviness from the long, emotional day still clinging to my body, but somehow… lighter, too.
Soft footsteps approached.
"Lea?" Marina peeked in from the hallway, smiling gently. "Good, you're awake. How are you feeling?"
"Better," I replied with a small nod. "A little tired… but better."
Marina's eyes softened even more. "Good. Then tonight, no cooking. We're all going out."
I blinked. "Out? Like… outside?"
"Yes." She clasped her hands like it was a celebration. "Kael booked a restaurant. Everyone needs a break after… everything."
