Chapter 48: Beta Cayden

When I open my eyes, soft light enters through a little gap in the drapes and slants toward the bed. I'm wrapped up in a cozy down duvet and a nest of blankets. Rolling over, I reach out to him with my arms stretched out. But the cold material was the only thing I had started to notice. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. He may have left already.

My attention was then drawn to a tray that was placed on the nightstand. I went over to it and took the yellow note.

I left early due to an emergency meeting I need to attend.

If you wish to visit the town today, Cayden will fetch you.

Enjoy your breakfast, beautiful. I will meet you later.

My lips curled into a soft smile as I read the message. My stomach started to grumble as soon as I opened the lid and saw the trout toast with scrambled eggs and sliced strawberries. I brewed a coffee for myself and ate the meal before getting in the shower. For some reason, I felt so good and relaxed today. Perhaps as a result of my peaceful sleep.
