Jena rested peacefully, and though she did not dream she did occasionally murmur softly during the night. In her sleep state Jena tended to reveal her feelings, her wishes, desires, and hopes, and though unintentional, her sighs, her facial expressions, and the gentle raising and lowering of her chest, were a mirror to her heart. She did not move once during the night as she was so comfortable in Galein’s tender embrace. Subconsciously she was aware that Galein stroked her hair and face, and when she would awake she would assume it had been nothing more than a dream.
In the morning when she was at the point between being awake and asleep, Jena, with her eyes still closed, smiled a sweet smile and spoke softly. “We should just stay here…stay like this: forever. We can...live this way.” Still keeping her eyes closed, she tilted her head against Galein’s chest so her soft feminine features would be facing up toward his own face. She kept her eyes closed a little longer, just enjoying the moment and not wanting to face the beginning of the new day.
