Big Mistake

When Kaivan woke up, it was already midday. This was evident from the abundance of sunlight that managed to pierce through the large curtains covering the bedroom window.

Turning slightly, he found his wife still deeply asleep in his embrace, her arm serving as a pillow. One side of her face rested against Kaivan's broad chest.

Seeing Anne in such a peaceful state made Kaivan unconsciously smile. Gazing at his wife's beautiful face without blinking, he remained fixed on her for quite a while. Almost as if enchanted or perhaps hypnotized. Whatever it was, Kaivan felt that this was a new activity he must repeat every day. Yes, admiring Anne's lovely face while she was still asleep seemed like a delightful pastime.

Satisfied with gazing at his wife's face, Kaivan gently kissed her forehead and then her cheek in turn. This action caused the woman beside him to stir. She formed a faint smile, her eyes not fully open yet.
