It had been a few days since Lily last saw him, and she noticed a layer of light stubble had grown on his chin. It wasn't particularly obvious, and it made him look quite attractive. Xavier was in a deep slumber. His chest rose and fell slightly. A faint redness rimmed his eyes. It was a sign of his severe intoxication. But she supposed it wasn't life-threatening.
