The familiar scent of a certain type of tea reached your sense, providing its freshly brewed state that caused you to gain consciousness. Such familiar aroma forced your mind to replay the wonderful memories you once had with your former lover. It triggered the hidden longing that you still had for him, despite how he became too secretive and even possessive of you in the past. His comforting presence and all of the wondrous moments the two of you spent together seemed to replay as the relief you felt can be reflected with the small smile you unconsciously have by then. Noticing this, William also felt comforted upon knowing that you are alright.
Other than feeling relieved, he unknowingly feels nervous as he awaits the further progress of his plan once you are awaken. Quite the surprising scenario indeed coming from someone as meticulous as him. He knew that what he did had been too risky, but he had been very much prepared to do it as long as he would acquire you as an end to such precarious means. Having you near him should satiate his objective, but he needed to be reassured of something else. He is close to being desperate to hear you yearn for him once more even after everything has happened. He is anxious whether or not you would react according to what he desired.
Another unusual thing is for him to start feeling impatient, despite being the one calm and prepared to await everything to follow accordingly to what he already anticipated. He can only huff in amusement, smiling while shaking his head after knowing that you are the only one that has quite the effect on him. Missing you dearly already despite being personally beside him, William unconsciously calls your name almost close to a whisper. It seemed to have worked as you subtly moved before starting to awaken. Once he sees your eyelids starts to move, he busies himself with reading the newspaper to prepare for the progression of his intended happenings.
"Was seeing him... had been just a dream?" You muttered unconsciously in a daze while trying to recover from the aftereffects of your forced slumber, remaining to be unaware of someone else's presence within the room that you had also yet to discover as something awfully recognisable.
Feigning that he just noticed you in that moment to have been awakened, William glances up from reading the newspaper as he gives you a warm smile before gleefully greeting you, assuming and hoping that you do not feel threatened at the moment. "You are finally awake, my love..."
Something deep inside you, warned you to be wary around William that you undeniably still felt connected to in a way. You subtly frowned in confusion with how your feelings seemed to contrast with one another until you felt calmed when it suddenly reached an agreement. The underlying feeling of alertness faded in an instant, being immediately replaced with comfort as you glanced to where he had spoken. Seeing him once more left you in another conflicted state that left you to be subtly frustrated as to why you are feeling this way. You are both angered, yet elated to know that he is just right beside you. Though these are replaced by concern and worry.
