Edward!
Graciela let out a breath, stretching down to her toes underneath the blanket. She rolled from her side to her back and was surprised when her arm hit the mattress and not the body she'd fallen asleep beside. Graciela blinked a few times at the empty space that Edward had left, still waking up as she tried to figure out where he could be. The shower wasn't running, and he was not at his desk where she often found him at odd hours of the day or night when inspiration struck. With how the sunlight was streaming in, it was still fairly early, but Graciela did not often get to sleep in and was seriously considering turning over and going back to sleep. Zacharias was with his father, and Edward's flat was more than convenient for a weekend of birthday celebrations. Why rush the start of the day?

Though it seemed that Edward was already on his way. Graciela ran a hand over her face, wondering if it would be bad to fake still being asleep. But his bed was so comfy and warm, and the shirt she borrowed smelled like him and she could not often be this way. Just---relaxed without a care in the world or a mouth to feed. She could not even find it in herself to feel guilty about having Zacharias stay with Alex; it was a much needed holiday and escape into a life she'd never had and couldn't often visit.

She'd just decided to let herself slip back into sleep when the door opened, and Graciela remained in her splayed position on the bed as Edward entered. She smiled and covered her face with her hand before beckoning him to come back to bed.
