Evelynn's POV (sometime later – late evening Thursday):

The magenta-haired lawyer felt so peaceful, so relaxed for the very first time in what felt like aeons. She could have sworn that she was laying on the softest bedding her physical form has ever had the privilege to come in contact with. Evelynn felt like she was floating on soft clouds, roaming the vast spaces that we are used to calling the heavens.

Her slumber continued as if someone wanted her to regain her strengths, to refuel, to recharge. No one was trying to interrupt her dreams. Whoever allowed her to rest already deserved her gratitude, for she needed it even though she would never have admitted it. After all, calling her a prideful woman would be an understatement.

The diva started to regain her consciousness when she felt the most delicate, gentle touch caressing her cheek. With a bit of unwillingness, the golden-eyed beauty had to leave the pleasant domain of her dreams. However, something in that delicate touch was so encouraging for the sleeping woman; the warmth, the concern could be recognised in every little caress.

As if she was put into slow-mode, her eyes began to open at a leisurely pace. At the very beginning, she could not see anything. Everything around her seemed blurry, covered in darkness.

"Eve?" Akali softly called her name. "Are you awake?"

"Ehh ...," the older woman groaned for a few short-lived moments. "I am."

"I am sorry," the latter began, "you just fell asleep, but I did not want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful, so relaxed as if you really needed that nap. I did not have the heart to take it away from you," the girl explained in a whisper-like manner.

"It's fine," the diva whispered while readjusting her position. "How long have I been asleep?" she asked when she finally gathered enough strength to remove her head from the bosom of the other.

"I do not know, maybe an hour, I guess?" the raven-haired girl replied instantly. "Let me check," Akali added, reaching out for her phone. After a few swipes, she continued, "it was precisely 74 minutes."

"God," the siren groaned loudly. "Why I am such a useless piece-"

"Stop that right now!" Rogue interrupted, her voice rising slightly. "It is not your fault that it was raining, it was not your fault that you were tired. Please, do not blame yourself," the raven-haired teenager pleaded.

"I-I, fine," the lawyer gave up. "I assume it stopped already?"

"Yeah, it was a couple of minutes ago," the ninja provided a piece of information."As soon as it stopped, I started the process of waking you up. I tried to be as gentle as I could," the girl added, lowering her head slightly, blushing.

"You were very gentle, darling," the older woman cooed.

"I think ... I think that maybe karaoke is not the best idea," Evelynn said after a short pause. "Maybe we could organise it at our home?"

"Hmm? You want it organised for only two of us, or you want to invite others?" the teenager asked in surprise.

"I thought about only us, to be perfectly frank," Eve hummed.

"But ... but ... as far as I know, we don't have anything to karaoke with back at home," the raven-haired teenager whispered.

"Ah ... you still don't much of my secrets, darling," the diva giggled. "If we want, we can throw up a party like nowhere else. Of course, only if you want to," the siren winked seductively.
