It was the next morning, and Kate woke up in Bastien’s arms, who was sleeping deeply. She looked at his face and caressed his chest. Bastien had only grown more handsome with the years. She kissed his neck and chest, and caressed his face with her hands. Bastien kissed her fingers and smiled.

—Good morning, my love, how did you sleep?

—Well, I just wanted to look at you before going to work.

—Mmm… how about we stay in bed today? We won’t work all day and we’ll make love over and over again. —Ka
