Chapter 35

• The morning sun had just peeked through the window, casting a warm glow across the room. Drake was still asleep, curled up under the covers. His breathing was slow and steady, a contented smile on his lips. He was in a deep slumber, lost in dreams that he couldn't quite remember.
• Suddenly, the sound of his phone ringing shattered the peacefulness of the room. The ringtone was loud and jarring, causing him to stir and groggily reach for his phone on the nightstand.
• "Hello?" he mumbled, his voice still thick with sleep.
