Villain Ch 1556. Morning Cardio
The next morning came in soft, golden pieces—sunlight slicing gently through the sheer curtains, brushing against the floor like it didn't want to wake anyone up too fast. The kind of morning that didn't feel rushed or sharp, but… still. Settled.
Allen blinked awake. No alarm. No obnoxious ringtone. No emergency notifications. Just… air. Clean sheets. A soft pillow.
And peace.
Weird.
Really weird.
His fingers twitched across the comforter like his body was double-checking for threats. Nope. Still in bed. Still whole. Still warm. Still—relaxed?
A second passed before he slowly sat up and stared around his room like it might glitch out.
Still quiet.
Still soft light.
Still real.
Huh.
He rubbed a hand across his face. A breath left him slow, steady.
That had been… a good sleep. No tossing. No dreams. No grinding his teeth halfway into oblivion. Just clean rest. Like his body finally gave him permission to breathe.
