Halcyone, Caspian and Ayla were a month away from graduation. They were close to getting their Bachelor's degree.

Halcyone was preparing hard for both her degrees. She had paint, colours, brushes, pencils and palettes scattered along with various botany books open. She had to submit 5 paintings and study for 5 main subjects and 2 minor subjects for botany.

She seemed to be having a hard time trying to finish them all and keep up. She had bags under her eyes. She was tired and drained. Akir knew if he let her go on she'd suffer from a burn out.

"Ci, let's get some rest." he suggested.

"Mmm no." she brushed him away.

"I'll wake you up. I promise. Get some sleep." he pleaded this time.

She nodded and got up, finally realising how tired she had been as she felt a jolt of dizziness.

He had prepared food and then gone to wake her up as he noticed the sun setting. He placed a light peck on her forehead. "Wake up!"

She stirred and woke up.

She woke up to a delicious smelling dinner. She smiled with her eyes still closed. "I want."

He giggled and answered. "Yes yes. You get."

She crawled out of bed and went to the table and sat herself down.
