Sent To A Fantasy World and Now All the Men Want Me #5

Muffin and the Beast

The emotional day took a toll on Lake. When we returned to the castle later that afternoon, he’d crawled into bed and conked out, too drained to do much else. He woke when Fane brought our dinner, then nuzzled me for a few minutes and went back to sleep.

A darkening sky showed beyond the window. The sun inched closer toward the horizon, bringing an end to another day. Dark sky merged with the deep orange, gold, and purple hues of the sunset. Though faint, the moon could be seen in the distance.
