She felt relief,the weight inside her heart was lighter this time since she woke up from the hospital.The door behind her slid open.Adrian stepped outside, dressed casually in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms. His hair was still slightly damp from his shower.Adrain stood when he saw her. “You woke up really early “.She smiled, turning to face him. “ I don't want to miss this “.Following the directions of her eyes,he saw her looking at the ocean. “ It is what waking up for”.He stood beside her while they enjoyed the view together in silence which was no longer awkward but comfortable.After breakfast, they rented bicycles and followed a narrow coastal road that wound through hills covered in wildflowers.The ocean remained beside them almost the entire journey.Elara laughed whenever the breeze pushed against her.She looked back once and found Adrian watchi
