My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

At 11 o'clock in the evening, I leaned against the sofa and fell asleep.

I was still thinking about Hendrix and wasn't in a very deep sleep. I heard the sound of the door opening in the corridor and footsteps that sounded intentionally quiet.

He had opened the door and walked in. He then gently approached me, took off his coat and placed it on me.

When I opened my eyes, Hendrix had knelt beside the sofa/. He was about to carry me back into the room. When he noticed that I had woken up, he patted my head and said, "Didn't I tell you that you didn't have to wait for me? Why didn't you go to sleep?"

He called me during dinner, saying that he had to deal with a multinational meeting and wouldn't be able to come back until after midnight.

I propped myself up with the help of the sofa's armrest. I was still slightly dazed. "I can't sleep when you aren't home."

Hendrix laughed at me because I was being childish. "If I don't work overtime, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to guarantee your safety and the children's, for the rest of our lives. I would be very unhappy if that happens."
