The late-night talk with Zafira went about as he expected.
She was both angry at him and jealous. He did his best to reassure her, and after the whole night of movie watching and cuddling, he was sure the two were on the same page again.
He also mentioned Lilith, and to his genuine surprise, Zafira had agreed to have a talk with her.
Albeit, Rael did sense a lie at that time, so he didn't have his hopes too high up. But if anything, he was satisfied. These past couple of days were most likely the most fun he'd had in a while, and for that, he was grateful.
Nonetheless, being wide awake and with Zafira still sleeping beside him, Rael got dressed and stepped outside, not forgetting to leave behind some delicious food for Zafira, as well as a kiss on her forehead.
