Twenty-one

Kalan

I rose, stretching myself out on the couch, grimacing at the sudden ray of bright light that attacked my eyes through the window. This is the only thing I despise about living in a condo. I stood up with a yawn, scratching my belly and making my way to the kitchen, to make some breakfast. Hm...today was my 36th birthday.

Technically the day I will stop aging like a normal human. Not that I wouldn't grow older, but it wouldn't just be as regular as humans.

Meaning I might still look like this for the next 20 years.

Just like my previous birthdays, I didn't feel any different or special except that Ravenna was now around me. Her presence makes me feel like a completely different person.

The clock on the wall facing adjacent to me indicated that it was nine o'clock in the morning. Ravenna was still sleeping. So, I decided to make breakfast before she woke up.

It has been three days now. Three days of complete unadulterated bliss. It was like we were in our very own, little world
