Chapter 58: Marc

I woke up a little earlier than Lisa and observed how peacefully she slept. She’s got a face with a view. It’s lovely to look at. How I wish we had met under different circumstances, in a different world.

"Go back to sleep," I tell her. "It’s still dark

"But we have to start training." She said she was trying to find her determination to leave the comfort of the bed.

I moved closer to her and kissed her on the forehead. "How are you feeling now?"

"I am better." She asserted. "I don't know what got to me last evening. But I am fine now."

"Alright then, let’s freshen up and get you battle-ready."

Veronica was already up and fidgeting with the coffee maker.

Veronica looked at Lisa and smiled. "I’ve been trying to get this damn machine to work, but it just won’t budge."

"Let me take a look at that." I jumped in.

"Alright. I will leave you to it. Lisa, why don’t you train with me today? I’ll get changed. Meet me in the garden in five minutes."
