• I gazed at Sebastian, his peaceful form nestled beside me, lost in slumber. His body lay turned over, gentle snores escaping his lips like a baby. It amazed me how something as simple as watching him sleep could evoke such indescribable emotions within me. It was oddly satisfying to watch him sleep this peacefully. A profound warmth surged through my being, embracing me like a cherished secret.
