After finishing the milk, Rena handed the glass back to him and settled down, murmuring, âPlease turn off the light when you leave.
â
Leaning in, Waylen complied and bestowed a tender good-night ki*s while whispering into her ear, âRena, when will you share your nights with me?â
Rena responded softly, âLet such thoughts rest.
â
His lips brushed against hers, and he softly voiced, âI yearn for those nights to become our cherished routine.
â
Before Rena could respond, he departed.
As Waylen opened the door, the sound of rain greeted Renaâs ears.
Unusually heavy rain showered the season, a rare occurrence.
In the middle of the night, thunder disrupted Renaâs slumber.
The ominous rumble reverberated.
Bolts of lightning pierced through the darkness, illuminating the cityâs windows like ethereal lanterns.
Alexis awoke, trembling and seeking refuge in Renaâs embrace frightened by the storm.
Holding Alexis close, Rena reassured her, âIâm here.
Donât be afraid, my darling.
â
Alexis still trembled with fear.
She nestled closer in Renaâs arms, yearning to find her father.
Rena contemplated carrying Alexis to Waylenâs roomâ¦

Rain and wind inundated the room instantly, soaking the floor near the window.
With no hesitation, Rena decided.
She swiftly wrapped Alexis in a blanket and resolved to take her to Waylen.
As she was about to reached the door, the bedroom door creaked open first.
Waylen, clad in a bathrobe, approached them through the darkness.
With a gentle gesture, he took Alexis from Renaâs arms and whispered, âThe power is out.
And the backup power is dead.
You two should go and sleep in my room.
â
Rena found herself unable to resist as fear and uncertainty gripped her heart.
With one hand holding Alexis and the other grasping Renaâs hand, Waylen led them to the master bedroom.
