  𝐍𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐌𝐈’𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 open. The first thing she notices is the delightful, filling, calming smell of hot chocolate — which she knew was Eli’s signature scent.

  She breathes it in, lets it scorch deep marks into her lungs, wants it to remain in her soul forevermore. Her hands grip at Eli’s oversized white shirt, weaving her fingers into the material, never wanting to let go. Eli’s arm was slung loosely over her, and Nozomi feels affection overflow from the depths of her heart.

  She doesn’t want to wake up from this dream.

  Nozomi can feel Eli’s steady breathing, can hear the soft beating of her heart, and the rise and fall of warmth beneath her hands.

  Nozomi closes her eyes again and relishes all if it, unwilling to wake up, even though she could hear the alarm ringing from behind Alisa’s closed door.

  College. Nozomi groans inwardly, and buries her head further into Eli’s chest, entangling their legs together in a brief spell.

  Something’s patting her shoulder, trying to shove her away from Eli’s warmth. Nozomi fights back, unwilling to yield to it, waving a hand up from its place on Eli’s back.

  “Wow,” the faraway voice remarks lightly, and Nozomi tries to push the bother off.

  “You’re stuck together like glue.”

  The annoyance leaves, though briefly. Nozomi hears footfalls against carpeted floor, and the curtains being yanked open, causing the early sunlight to stream mercilessly onto Nozomi’s face.
