Serena and I continued cuddling in her bed, wrapped up in the warmth of each other's embrace. It felt so comforting… like nothing else in the world mattered. She held me tightly, refusing to let go—and honestly, I didn't want her to. Holding her like this, I felt like I could drift off into the sweetest dream.
In the back of my mind, a thought surfaced: If only I could spend the whole night here… just falling asleep beside her like this… That would be a dream come true.
Serena's breathing began to slow. I glanced down and saw her eyes gradually closing. She was getting sleepy.
Ah… no good. Now I'm feeling drowsy too...
My eyelids began to droop. Whatever, I thought. I'll just sleep here tonight. Just this once.
But just as I was slipping into sleep—knock knock knock—the sound of footsteps and a soft knock came from Serena's door.
