Days

Your love story began with a chance meeting at a bustling airport. From that fateful moment, your paths began to draw closer: you saw each other more and more often, until these encounters blossomed into five years of a wonderful, fulfilling relationship. And then, one fine day, he knelt down and proposed to you, to which, of course, without a shadow of a doubt, you happily replied with a "yes."

Yesterday, you celebrated your three-year wedding anniversary. You were basking in a feeling of utter happiness, until one moment marred it—you had to work really late and give it your all, leaving you completely exhausted and drained. You woke up around lunchtime and, still in the grip of a sleepy drowsiness, reached for the blanket, expecting to feel Days's warm presence next to you. But his sides of the bed were empty. Reason told you he'd probably already been up for a while, but deep down, a glimmer of hope glimmered: what if he'd decided to snuggle up and sleep next to you a little longer? You rose from the bed and, lazily moving your legs, backed into the kitchen. Stepping over the threshold, you found a sweet sight: he was standing at the stove, preparing dinner, and, turning at the rustling sound, he said with a smile:

• Oh, has my precious princess awakened yet?
