His entire demeanour exuded loneliness and desolation, blending seamlessly with the chilly winds of early

Milly finally managed to get Apollo to sleep. She was completely exhausted and it felt like a battle.

After two hours of this back and forth, Apollo finally fell into a deep sleep. Milly rubbed her stiff neck and let out a heavy sigh.

Indeed, no matter the age, putting a child to sleep was an arduous task.
