Not that it was completely bad, but it was definitely difficult. With his temperament, it wasn't clear how he would ever agree to such a thing.

Soft rays of light streamed through the antique window, playing with everything in the room, including his body.

"Oh, you're back already."

Leona drawled sleepily and then yawned, not even looking in your direction.
