"Their relationship is moving at a snail's pace, and I, for the love of God, can't just sit by and watch!"
That excuse is flimsier than a house of cards.
"Alright, Madam, it's time for your nap."
"Hmm. How long do you think we should keep the doors closed? An hour? Or is that too short? Maybe two?"
Sighing in exasperation, Hannah replied, "Madam..."
"Never mind, let's re-open in three hours."
If those two could last for three whole hours, she might need to warn the kitchen to whip up some energy-boosting dishes for dinner.

Two hours later, Chloe woke up in Damon's arms.
She didn't open her eyes immediately, instead, she took in the familiar scent that filled her nostrils.
Her heart skipped a beat before gradually returning to its normal rhythm.
Slowly, she opened her eyes to see Damon's pristine shirt, slightly creased.
This wasn't the first time she had woken up in his arms, but compared to that night in the car at Greenfield Village, she felt much more at ease now.
Or rather, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
"What's on your mind?"
Damon had been awake long before Chloe opened her eyes.
Upon hearing his question, Chloe lifted her head from his chest, "I Just woke up, and feels nice now."
Damon gazed at her with a hint of fatigue on his handsome face and a playful twinkle in his eyes.
Without uttering a word, he leaned in to kiss her. Chloe hesitated for a moment before responding to his kiss.
"Are you awake?"
Damon asked softly, his voice deep and alluring.
