Time passed little by little as the digital clock rested on the bedside table.
It was already 1:34 a.m.
The two people who had been desperately entangled, on the verge of exhaustion, finally stopped.
Athena hadn't eaten anything.
She had exerted too much force.
She lay on Byron's body and felt a bit dizzy.
There were some rough scars on Byron's hand.
His large palm gently traced along her spine, resting on Athena's back.
"I haven't had dinner," murmured Athena.
Byron was startled. "When you said you felt dizzy, were you really feeling faint?"
"I'll go and fetch the dessert prepared by Alice. Or do you want something else?" Byron hastily replied.
"Just dessert,"
Athena weakly answered.
She thought to herself,
"Indeed, getting older makes a difference."
It couldn't be compared to when she was young.
After a short while, Byron brought the food.
In addition to the dessert, he also slightly heated up the meat and vegetables in the refrigerator.
Although Athena only asked for dessert, in the end, she finished everything that Byron had brought.
Byron sat by the side, watching.
Athena remained silent.
She quietly finished eating and went to brush her teeth.
Byron was afraid that there would be a lingering smell in the room that Athena didn't like, so he took the utensils downstairs.
When he returned, Athena had already changed into her pajamas and was lying down.
He leaned over, embraced Athena in his arms, and kissed her forehead. "I'm very happy."
Athena smiled.
But then she tilted her head and asked him, "Are you really happy?"
"Very much," Byron said, leaning in to kiss Athena's lips.
Athena evaded his kiss.
Byron paused, looking confused.
Then Athena pinched his mouth. "Byron, if you continue to do those things that bully people, don't even think about such happy things."
After saying that, Athena let go, turned off the light, and lay down with her back to Byron.
In the darkness, she heard Byron laugh.
Then the bed sank as Byron lay down as well. His warm body pressed against her, his head buried in her neck.
"Honey, that's a big threat," he whispered.
"I'm glad you knew it," Athena replied.
"I'll behave and follow everything you say, honey."
His voice was very intoxicating.
