Ivor opened his eyes at a familiar sound. The birds tweeting next to his room's window.
He got up to a sunny morning, the snow was still everywhere, yet the sun rays were making that morning brighter than usual.
He washed his face then walked towards the kitchen where Eliz was making lunch.
"Good morning, mom."
The man said.
"Ivor, good morning. How are you feeling?"
She asked because at some point she was worried since he did not wake up to eat the dinner he wished for, he hasn't gotten so much sleep in years now.
