After the three of them returned to the hotel, Adele knew it was time to say goodbye to her son again. He would be going back to school the day after tomorrow and staying with his father until then.

Adele's mother was already ready in the hallway with all the luggage. Archie hugged Adele tightly and said, "I'm really going to miss you, Mom."

Adele hugged him back, feeling a lump in her throat. "I'm going to miss you too, sweetheart. But remember, we'll be together again in a month."

Archie looked up at her with a hopeful expression. "Promise?"

"I promise," Adele said, gently stroking his hair. "And you're always my Peanout."

A small smile appeared on Archie's face. "Okay, Mom. I'll be brave."

Adele's mother then approached them and said, "I'm truly sorry for everything that's happened. I didn't mean to cause any trouble."

Adele gave her mother a reassuring look. "I appreciate your apology, Mom. Let's focus on the positives and move forward."

With a final emotional farewell, Adele's mother and son left for the airport. Once they were gone, Adele, exhausted from the concert and the emotional goodbyes, collapsed onto the bed.

Isy, who had been quietly observing, went to take a shower. Adele followed her softly and opened the bathroom door.

Isy noticed Adele's presence immediately and asked with concern, "Is everything okay? You seem a bit off."

Adele shook her head and managed a tired smile. "It's been a long day. I just want you to know how much I love you. Really, more than anything."

Isy's face softened as she returned the smile. "I love you too, Adele. More than you know."

Isy then asked, "Do you want to join me in the shower? I'd enjoy the company, but if you need some time alone, I understand."

Adele hesitated for a moment and replied, "I think I'd prefer some time alone right now. It's been a lot to process."

Isy nodded with complete understanding. "Of course. Take all the time you need. I'm here whenever you're ready."

Adele gave Isy a grateful smile. "Thanks for understanding. I'll just be in the other bathroom for a bit."

Isy still in the shower, and Adele quietly closed the other bathroom door, taking a deep breath. She leaned against it for a moment, letting the silence envelop her. The exhaustion from the concert and the emotional farewell was catching up with her, and she needed this time to gather her thoughts.

As the sound of water began to fill the room, Adele sat on the edge of the bathtub, feeling the weight of the day pressing down on her. She took a few moments to reflect on the evening's events, trying to let the emotions settle.

Meanwhile, in the shower, Isy took her time, enjoying the warm water and thinking about Adele. She respected Adele's need for space but wished she could do more to help her feel better. After a while, she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping herself in a towel.

Isy knocked gently on the other bathroom door before opening it slightly. "I'm done with the shower. If you're ready to talk or just want some company, I'm right here."

Adele looked up, her face showing a mixture of relief and weariness. "Thank you, Isy. I think I'm ready to come out now."

As Adele emerged from the bathroom, she found Isy waiting with a comforting smile. Isy reached out and took Adele's hand, leading her to the bed. They sat together in quiet companionship, with Isy gently rubbing Adele's back.

"You know," Isy said softly, "you've been through a lot the last days. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. You're allowed to take your time to process everything."

Adele nodded, leaning into Isy's touch. "I just needed a moment. It's been so intense, and I didn't realize how much I needed to just be with you right now."

Isy hugged Adele close. "I'm here for you. We'll get through this together. Just take the time you need. I'm always here to listen to you love"

Adele felt a wave of comfort wash over her, grateful for Isy's support. The two of them stayed there for a while, holding each other and finding solace in their presence.
As the night wore on, Adele began to feel a sense of calm, knowing that despite the challenges, she had Isy by her side to navigate through it all.

As they lay entwined in each other's arms, Isy's touch was soothing and intimate, her fingers tracing gentle, reassuring patterns on Adele's back. The soft amber glow of the bedside lamp created a cocoon of warmth and closeness, making the outside world feel distant and irrelevant.

Isy leaned in, her breath warm and tender against Adele's skin, and planted a series of soft, lingering kisses along Adele's jawline. "You are everything to me," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I don't know how I ever managed without you."

Adele looked down at Isy, her eyes filled with deep affection, a smile spreading across her face. "You're my heart. Every moment with you feels like a dream I never want to wake from."

Isy's gaze softened as she pressed a slow, tender kiss to Adele's lips. The kiss was sweet and lingering, a perfect blend of love and intimacy. When they finally pulled apart, Isy traced her fingers gently along Adele's cheek, savoring the closeness.

"I adore the way you look at me," Isy murmured, her lips brushing lightly against Adele's ear. "It makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world."

Adele's cheeks flushed with happiness as she rested her forehead against Isy's. "Your love makes me feel whole. I've never felt this happy before."

Isy guided Adele to lie back on the bed, her movements gentle and caring as she tucked the soft blankets around them. She settled in beside her, pulling Adele close into a snug embrace. "Let's just be here, wrapped up in our own little world," she said softly. "No worries, just us."

Adele nestled deeply into Isy's embrace, her head resting comfortably on Isy's chest. The steady rhythm of Isy's breathing was calming, a soothing reminder of their profound connection. Isy's fingers continued their tender exploration, tracing calming lines along Adele's spine, making her feel utterly cherished.

Isy leaned down and placed a series of delicate kisses on Adele's forehead, then whispered with heartfelt sincerity, "I want to hold you like this forever. You complete me in every way."

Adele closed her eyes, surrendering to the warmth and security of Isy's touch. "I never want this moment to end. Your love is everything I need."

Isy's smile was soft and loving as she pressed a series of gentle kisses to Adele's hair and cheek. "You're my world, Adele. Every kiss, every touch, is all for you."

Adele sighed contentedly, her heart swelling with joy as she nestled closer to Isy. "Being with you feels like home."

Isy held Adele close, her fingers softly playing with Adele's hair. "We're together, my love. As long as we're together, I'm happy wherever we are."

The night was filled with their soft whispers and the tender caresses of their love. Each kiss and gentle touch deepened their bond, creating a serene haven of warmth and intimacy. In each other's arms, Adele and Isy found the perfect blend of romance and comfort, a quiet refuge where they could let go of the world's worries and fully embrace their profound connection.
