ARIA'S POV
The sun had barely risen when I opened my eyes, but my body already knew it was morning. My hand went to my stomach without thinking. It was still flat, but I could feel the change in me.
I sat up slowly and looked around Kael's room…no, our room now. His scent lingered on the sheets, grounding and calming. The other side of the bed was empty, but still warm. My heart fluttered.
Kael was up early again.
The door opened softly, then Kael stepped inside holding a small tray. "You're awake," he said, a rare smile playing on his lips. "Good, you were sleeping so soundly I didn't want to wake you. So instead I brought you something."
The tray had fresh fruit, toasted bread, and a bowl of warm porridge. Beside it was a cup of mint tea he had brewed especially for me.
"You didn't have to…" I began, but he placed the tray on my lap and brushed a kiss against my forehead.
