The vampire prince's back slouched against the soft sage green couch cushions, his head resting on the light green pillow with the sound of the birds chirping outside and the soft footsteps of a woman filling the spacious living room. Creating a soothing noise to his heightened senses, these light but distinct sounds allowed him a momentary reprieve from the turmoil within.
