After Rosie went back to school, Summer got increasingly bored with daily life.
She was with Leonardo all day long. Sometimes, Leonardo was engaged with his work. Most of the time, however, he was with Summer.
Summer's daily schedule was filled by medicine, checkup, sleeping... She had to repeat the same routine every day. However, Summer was much better mentally, and, to her surprise, she felt her health was improving.
At least, she felt more energetic now. She wasn't as sleepy as before. Leonardo had noticed Summer's recovery much earlier than herself.
Ever since she left the hospital, her health was getting worse, and she needed a lot of sleep. Every morning, she would wake up to find
Leonardo gone. He was either at the study or sitting by the bed with a document in his hand.
However, when Summer woke up today, she surprisingly found Leonardo was still lying beside her. The curtains were drawn, and she was not sure what time it was, nor could she get up.
She stared at the ceiling for a while, and was ready to sleep again, but she couldn't sleep anymore after she closed her eyes.
When she was about to open her eyes, she heard Leonardo's voice. "What's up?"
Summer opened her eyes and found Leonardo, whose eyes were closed before, had opened, and his eyes revealed his sleepiness.
Obviously he had just woken up. He felt Summer tossing about and murmured, subconsciously asking how she was.
Summer turned her head to look at Leonardo
and asked, "What time is it now?"
Leonardo looked at her with a pair of weary eyes. It's been a while since Summer woke up. Her eyes were bright, but her hair was in a mess, which made her appear somewhat childish.
Nevertheless, she was energetic. Leonardo skipped a heartbeat. He lowered his head and kissed Summer's forehead. Then, he stroked Summer's head again, turned around to reach for the watch on the bedside table.
