It was Monday, and they were all set to check out of the resort by noon. Aiden stirred awake, the warm sheets tangled around his legs. He blinked, adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains.
He turned his head and smirked—Cara was still beside him, her bare shoulder peeking out from the covers. He brushed a strand of hair from her face before pressing a kiss to her skin.

She stretched lazily, eyes still half-closed. "Mmm... morning."
"Let's grab some breakfast before we head out," he suggested.
She turned to him, lips curling into a teasing smirk. "I wanna have you for breakfast first... then we can have actual food."
Aiden chuckled, rolling over her. "Now that," he whispered against her lips, "is a perfect plan."
They got lost in each other once more before finally dragging themselves out of bed, showering, and heading downstairs for breakfast.

"Buffet-style," Aiden noted as he grabbed a plate. The resort truly was stunning, with its oceanfront view and elegant decor. He glanced around, taking in the relaxed atmosphere.
"This really is a nice place for a vacation," he remarked, filling his plate.
Cara nodded in agreement. "I wouldn't mind coming back here again."
They ate leisurely, enjoying the final moments of their stay. After breakfast, they lingered at the hotel bar, sipping drinks and basking in the warm, carefree energy of the resort. By noon, it was time to leave.
Aiden escorted Cara to his car, instructing his driver to take her home. "See you soon, my lady," he told her with a smirk before she leaned in for a lingering kiss.
