Chapter 1200:

Laney woke abruptly, saw Cliff, and nestled into his arms. She inhaled the lemony scent of his mouthwash, leaning in for a kiss.

Cliff responded with a kiss that lingered.

Though they hadn’t kissed often, their familiarity made it feel instinctive. The kiss fully awakened her. Under the dim light, her face glowed with a contented smile.

“What’s making you smile?” Cliff inquired.

Laney shook her head, choosing silence. She yearned to say how wonderful it would be to always wake up like this but feared it was too much to ask. She believed expressing such a wish would burden him. Cliff seemed to sense her hesitation and gently asked, “Do you have any major performances soon?”

Laney paused to think. “No, but if you’d like, I can have the manager set something up.”

Cliff’s face remained unreadable. “No need. If you’re not performing, I’ll arrange some time off for us and take you on a two-week trip.”
