[Papa: Where have you been, Baby Bear? I've received reports you haven't been seen for the past week. Call me when you see this.]
Taeryn stared at the message on his screen with a blank face, even though irritation tugged under his skin. Why had Gi-hun not told his papa anything?
Sure, Tae hadn't exactly explained what was happening during their last call. He had been occupied with Rihan. But still.
His eyes drifted to the bed.
Rihan was fast asleep, long hair falling over his face, his chest rising and falling in a slow, calm rhythm. He looked unreal... ethereal, almost too beautiful to touch.
A fallen angel, Tae thought. If fallen angels existed, this is how they'd look.
It felt perfect waking up beside his detective.
The alarm clock on the nightstand read 5:00 AM.
