Darius P.O.V
I woke up the next day with arms around my body, I smiled down at Amoy who slept peacefully beside me.
This was probably the first time I’ve seen her so relaxed besides last night. I reached for my phone to check the time.
It was 7 AM, shocking me.
Amoy was usually up before 5 or 6, I wondered how long she stayed out on the balcony.
I slowly and quietly removed her hands off me, replacing my body with a pillow before going into the bathroom, taking a shower and brushing my teeth.
I was in the bathroom for a good 15 minutes

Do you think the news will blow over?” He shrugged letting out a sigh. “I’m not sure. Maybe.” The uncertainty in his voice told me this would probably go on for weeks. “Did you make breakfast? She hasn’t eaten all day.” He shook his head. “I was just about to go out and meet a friend, but I can—” I stopped him as I offered him a smile.

He departed to the dining hall, getting the bucket and rag from the corner of the room, cleaning the table where his wife's family would be eating.
