When the morning came, Bartiel blinked as the sunlight wafted onto his eyes. Staring up at the window, he frowned a bit. If this were a scenario in which throwing things would work, he would surely fling something at the window, but this was, sadly, not a 'throw something for victory' situation. With a groan, he laid back, looking down at his wife's form. He'd woken up before her, and he smiled as he felt her hand on his waist. Bartiel didn't realize that she'd been looking at his ring, wondering if he'd ever taken it off; which he'd only taken it off twice in their marriage, and both times were because he put it in a ring cleaner.
Slowly, after the sun rose and Bartiel woke up, he snuck out of bed, smiling and leaning down to kiss his wife on the forehead before he stood up, smiling and shaking his head with a soft sigh. Not wanting to leave Amelia, he sat down by her side, picking up his book and reading in the morning light as he waited for her face to awaken and smile at him.
